Tony,
This is a silly reply from you Tony. It is quite ridiculous to ask someone
to not listen to <any> music for the sole reason that they would then be
protected from having to listen to 'crap'. It`s distortion of reason at it`s
utmost, and cannot surely be correct. I believe that Virginia`s remark was
silly, curt and futile. She should indeed, in her position, aim to become
more understanding of all contributors, with a less abrasive defence of her
musical principles.
That`s all.

Best,

Tony W.
