Fine, here is the complete text of his post.  It was posted in reply to a
bost about which version of Astronomy was the best, and made obvious
references to two other posts recently on alt.music.blueoystercult, one
asking if the "Live 1976" video was worth $15.99 at Best Buy, and one
praising E.T. Live as BOC's best album.  To my knowledge (I monitor the
group fairly regularly) no messages have been posted on there about BOC-L in
at least a month or so....

Anyways, just to make sure no injustice was done:
