<<I'm not sure why you're trying to disprove that comedian statement so hard.>>
I was? Sorry you feel that way, but you made a comment and I responded.
<<except as an attempt to claw back a little credibility that you feel you've lost.>>
I don't feel I've lost anything. When you get down to it, we're just a bunch of people who like prog. This site doesn't have an impact on my life or career; so, if I did lose any credibility, I'll be over it before I'm through with this sentence.
<<Are you actually a comedian then?>>
No, but I play one on TV.
<<Are you saying that I should take nothing you say seriously?>>
Not sure. How often do you want to correspond?
<<The point about intellectual superiority is your implication, not my consideration - but you seem intent on underscoring it!>>
Maybe that's how you see it, but I think you've made your feelings pretty clear.
<<No - I've heard it before, and it wasn't funny then. You were saying that, because I hold a different opinion to you, for whatever reasons I have (and you didn't ask), that somehow I must be equated with someone who has consumed an unspecified quantity of narcotics - presumably with the implication that a person in such a condition is intellectually impaired to a very high degree.>>
Not at all--I was simply joking (I thought I included a smiley). Complete misinterpretation on this. I'm sure this thread is full of them ... and on my part as well.
<<What is funny about insulting someone that thinks differently to you?>>
This has been a two way street. If I've insulted you, I do apologize. I'm always able to man up and take responsibility for my own actions. Some comments were deliberate, but others were misinterpreted.
<<5. Sing "Sweet Home Alabama" in a style that truly rivalled the original in terms of pure rock and roll punch and grit.>>
No, but I bet this was interesting to hear.

EXCELLENT point, Rupert. I was speaking more of an earthly sense, but you have to give that title to the Creator.
<<I really came to like you, E-Dub>>
I hope you meant that in the present tense, Rupi.
As far as I'm a relict of the past ( a relict quite noone can remember haha ) it can't be meant in present tense. For BJH-fans like me it's "Forever Yesterday"...
but seriously, it's opresent tense ( what else ? )
I believe this list is essentially comprised of good people--regardless of whether or not we agree on certain issues.

I'm not a comedian but I'm trying out jokes all the time... apart from honestly believeing that anybody making jokes should think of them as being funny themselves, even be able to laugh at them ( AND HIMSELF ! ) I thought my comments were rather funny, too. Didn't wanna hurt anybody or cause a fight, PEACE, guys !

Rupert,
It's good with me. Certif1ed does sound like he's got a deep background with this. I also could be confusing having a 'better singing voice' with being 'technically better' (although, after listening to The Thieving Magpie yesterday, I still find it hard to believe). At this point, I don't really concern myself with it. It's not like I'm going to put all of my Hogarth era discs up on ebay if Fish is technically better.
