Come on now, it was a fair review.  Swells's opinions may differ from
everyone else on Planet Pop, but he managed to stereotype the average B&S
fan (as seen here on this list) perfectly.  By which I mean that I
half-recognized myself in his description.

I enjoy debate.  I like reading opinions that differ from my own.  But
rather than get into some slanging match about politics, I narrow my focus
to the stuff that really interests me (music, TV, comedy) so that at least
the debate has some form of passion behind it.  That's why I read this
list.  That's why I buy NME.

(oh, and I'm also a shallow sheep who likes being told what to think.
SHIT! whaddagiveaway!)
