No one has offended me on the subject....thanks for your concern though!

I recognize differing points of view on the "label" professional. It
appears that a sensitive spot was located with my response and even my
later clarification of that response (adjustment toward musicians unions)
to the intial question. I felt that my response(s) were quite broad and
encompassing - I still do. But I also see how people who do not feel they
fit into that definition could be ruffled.........certainly no ruffling
was intended.
