Larry, you're presenting your case in this forum to people who, by and large, know and admire you for your musical talent, your generosity and your knowledge. People who like you, and who have been bending over backwards for a long time now to be as fair to you as possible. People who acknowledge that Travellers of whatever race suffer from discrimination and who despise that discrimination. Yet I think it's fair to say that you have failed to convince the majority here that discrimination is a factor in this case, and that seems to have been your main, if not only, argument. I hope you're doing a better job of convincing the great American public.
