Carol,I have nothing against people like you. You sound both intelligent and interesting. I don't suppose I ever will, but I'd be more than pleased to shake your hand.
It's the increasing number of totally inane non-music threads which are threatening to completely over-run, a once musical forum that have caused me to throw my towel in.
Trust you understand
(just wait for for the "hurray: guest isn't posting any more" replies - they'll make my point)
