>I'm just glad that I was not reviewing the performance officially.
>............. I agree with Dave here. I was taught to be polite first, and
that tou shouldn't "BOO" unless you can do better. That there may
cercumstances involved that you as a listner are not aware of during the
performance like a pad dropping out in the beginning or the performer just
got very bad news(death in family,etc.). The show must go on !
