Clarke,

With no wish to get into the "dark/bright" argument that crops up
periodically (stay calm, Dan), I wonder, because I don't know how old you
are or whom you studied with, what generation you're referring to. I don't
want to see a reprise of the whole argument, but your comment made me wonder
(without wanting to criticize your having used the term) which players
exemplified "dark" in the way you meant it.
