Don, The point is not whether or not to be a cheerleader or not, the point is that their are a lot of points being expressed on this list...some very insightful, some not, some with a lot of sarcasm, and some extremely dead-serious. My off-remark, admittedly, was laced with a lot of sarcasm....but who's to say what's appropriate and not appropriate for this list. Your insinuation that I'm a "piano basher" couldn't be further from the truth. You are getting your feathers ruffled because you don't agree with someone else's point of view. That's why I said "lighten up". Judging by the wide array of subjects and candid remarks made on this list, mine was well within the norm for this list. Case closed.
