Mickey Mouse,
Yeah....right.I think that the phrase
"get 250 under your belt and you might stand a chance"
is elitist ,and deliberately intended to make a beginner feel like he or she is not at your level.I had no disagreement with the popularity or entertainment value of the tunes that you offered, just that there were too many and that many were not beginner tunes, again I feel that that was intended to make yourself appear superior to our novice friends.

Now, just what was elitist about my list?
"Danny Boy?"

p.s. If I were you I would avoid persuing this disagreement further, lest you wish to be made the fool.
