Y'know, maybe we outta post a disclaimer about this list:

"If you are here strictly to read about BOC _or_ HW exclusively and are
so close-minded to not want the cross-pollenization that the learned
subscribers bring to this list about the "other" band, seriously re-think
your rational for joining this list. Both bands have been catagorized as
"the thinking persons' heavy-metal band" and, if you don't think, we do
not want your input here. You will find it very uncomfortable here. We
are not elitests here (hell, they let _me_ join!), but we do expect a
certain amount of open-mindedness and tolerance for the ebb and flow
of e-mails that pertain to the band of your primary interest.

Anyways, it is all Steve Swanns' fault in the first place for this even
to exist, so you at least know who to blame..."

Ben did a great job a responding to the children that couldn't take it
anymore. Sheesh, I wonder why they let some people on the 'Net...

But, then again, BOC and HW are not my number one favorite bands, so
what do I know (OK they are in the top ten).
