Hello again, and hello Chris I am breaking my personal rule of posting more than once a day, but I will break this rule to answer Chris's letter. All I was trying to do was make two points: 1. it is unfair to compare one band to another, and as Chris stated comparisons between the Smiths and B&S do imply that B&S rips of the Smiths--which I believe they do not; 2. conformity is a bad thing. I am glad that Chris stands by his opinion, and he has every right to do so. And just because we disagree on a few points does not give either of us a reason to snipe at each other. So Chris apology excepted, and remember: "it's easy to laugh it's easy to hate/it takes strength to be gentle and kind." Once again, have a nice day all, esp Chris.
