Actually, the following exchange did. Since you comment was in response to
MY comparitive value judgment of the plays, it appeared to carry some
aspect of comparison as well, or at least suggests that you think "Cats"
must be better, regardless of HOW good any other show is:

I've not yet seen Crazy for You, but the dancing talent in Cats is so
wonderful, I'll never have a disparaging word to say about it. The
routine by "Mr. Mistofeles" literally brought down the house with
cheers.(unquote)

I certainly don't mean to disparage your favorite show. I've said twice
now that it is OK, but that I prefer different shows, those that have
plots, jokes, etc., and find those that do not RELATIVELY boring, and
wonder why some others apparently don't feel the same way. I'm sorry if I
worded my response to you a bit strongly.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
