When I was 14, I had a passion for the band "Yes." If I had access
to a net.music forum (God forbid) I would have undoubtedly have spewed
forth the virtues of Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman, etc... until everyone
else on the net was so sick of it they puked and sent me the collected
drippings.

14 years later I am no longer a Yes fan (Thank God!), but I have my
pet bands (XTC, Eno, Gabriel, Zappa, Prince, Pere Ubu, etc...).
Despite the obnoxious nature of many of my postings, I try to at least
extend the courtesy of not overstating the grooviness of any given
performer over and over and over and over and over and over again.

What I'm trying to say is this:

Doug Alan-

Believe it or not, we are beginning to understand that you have a
weakness for Kate Bush. We know, finally, that you think she is the
snazziest, neat-o-iest, most inovative thang on the planet. 

Why do insist on repeating your adulation of Kate Bush? Your other
articles that provide information on obscure artists are informed
and very helpful, primarily because they provide information that
is not readily available. Your Kate Bush postings are repetitive,
sychophantic, and don't provide anyone with information that will
assist them in any record-buying or concert-going decisions. Many
people have admitted they bought "The Dreaming" because of your
rabid support for KB only to find the record wasn't to their liking.
I agree with the gist of your opinions of KB (though I wouldn't die
for her) but I find the information content of your latest n-3
articles on KB to be informationally vacant. Give us a break.

    |___|        SCI Systems Inc. doesn't necessarily agree with Todd.

P.S. If you don't stop, I'll start flooding the net to discuss my former
band, the X-Teens, and my new band 4 Who Dared. How's that for a threat?
