I deleted most of this copy-paste non-music article. I have a BS filter - but I also have a "delete" button. Settle down, Guest, or you won't have thread creation privileges at all, and you may even force me to delete every one of your messages. I count at least 25 messages from you today (only one thread creation, however), and not a damn one has anything to do with music. I've received a number of complaints about you. Political discussion is fine - in moderation. Please don't force me to be repressive - I don't want to be. Join in the discussions and give us your opinion, but you have no need to say the same thing over and over again.
