Joe as there were many threads and methods to express your personal opinion in why on earth pick this one?

It would have been nice to hear what your opinion was on the issue rather that your opinion on how we are trying to address it.

Your opinion on that would probably be better in a personal message, or you could just have chosen to ignore it altogether.

You rightly say is this an important issue so why clutter it up with conversations about how we address it?

I will enter in to as much conversation about the method of addressing the issue with you or anyone who cares to in Personal Messages but will not help you to divert attention from the real issue by doing it publicly

I feel that most of the people The Mudcat really care about the right to make music and freedom of expression. I feel they will understand and I hope forgive me if the methods appear clumsy or are possibly counter-productive.

Let us please just get together and fight the enemies of free speech and not each other.
