You may well be right.

Oh I feel so dangerous.  I'd love to know what exactly I represent to
you.  I don't like the same music as you so I must be some sort of
antichrist...

Recently there have been a number of letters talking about Saropoly
and so forth.  Since the list has a lot of people under 24 who don't
know about such things, some of whom were a little nonplussed, I
figured it was a valid subject for discussion.  If you'd read my
letter, there was a link.  I happen to think Belle and Sebastian more
worthy of everyone's attention...that's just my opinion.

We do.  As you would know if you'd read what I said.

And your point is?

Believe me, I had no intention of correcting you.

Bravo to you.  You forgot ice-cream, flowers, and crayons.

Frankly no.  You try and get a lively discussion going and get shot
down for it.  I realised a lot of people wouldn't agree with me, but I
didn't expect to be treated as 'The Man', or for people to take things
personally.  I've seen letters more innocuous than this criticised for
'flaming'.  My letter had no personal malice in it, and I stressed
that it was just my opinion.  Thank you 'Madame Cholet', for your
constructive critique, I promise never to have an opinion of my own
again.
