Yes sir, Mr. HIgh & Mighty!  It's not enough that I work ten hours
a day running the Service Department of a company with annual
revenues of 35 million.  It's not enough that I teach skiing 40+ days
a year through the winter, and continue on through the summer down
at Mt. Hood.  Or that I volunteer with the USFS as a backcountry
ranger year round.  Or...you get the point...

You must be extremely unhappy with your own existence, to find
it so easy to pass judgment on others whom you know absolutely
nothing about.  I have quite a nice life, thank you.  The fact that it
includes a healthy dose of musical enjoyment, at whatever level
of cerebral involvement I choose, is not my measure...

To waste your creative energy lambasting other folks you don't
even know says more about you than anything else you might
have written.  You might be better served to "have a life" elsewhere,
if we bother you so much.  To intentionally post to a group with
such a friendly statement, and then let everyone know you are
hanging around to "take the abuse", striked me as rather odd,
Mike.  Are you feeling lonely?  Wanting of attention?

I would suggest that you, Mike, need to locate more than a life.
You might try mine, it's alot of fun.  Driving down to Santa Rosa
to meet up with a whole mess of wonderful BOC folk, to celebrate
the new record contract, and flying down to Vegas to see the Band
play at the unefest on the 1st.  Of course, this isn't much of a life...

That's on top of skiing on a Cascade volcano this weekend...

Have I illustrated well enough for you yet, how little you really
know about anyone here?

Here's a little light reading for you:

PREJUDICE: prej-u-dice \ n. [ME, fr. OF, fr. L praejudicium -
'previous judgment', damage; fr. prae- + judicium (judgment)]

I'm leaving soon, the others are already there...Wouldn't be
interested in coming along, instead of staying here?  It said
the West is nice this time of year, that's what they say."
