I don't like lobster, in fact I actively dislike it as a food. In no way do I think it is sub par to the foods I love, nor do I think there's anything wrong with it or that the people making lobster aren't doing something right... I don't even know what those things mean. I just don't like the taste of lobster or the feel of it in my mouth. That ain't about the lobster, that's about me.

It really is that simple, even if you don't believe it. Maybe one day, when you're old and grumpy like me, you'll see it.

You seem to be just focusing on one point of the post, all of it ties in together.. It doesn't appear you understand what I'm getting at.

I was with you all the way up to this. Really.
But with that, sir, I just HAVE to disagree!

Lobster! Jesus...can't believe what these grumpy old men can come up with...

I think it has probably in the past been hard for those in the professional realm to really push the boundaries of the computer as a tool. There was a certain type of creative thinking prevalent for a long time due to previous limitations on technology. This is gradually changing and I am hearing more open and creative work these days where the fact that anything can happen at any moment in the material is being exploited tastefully in the professional realm.

Back in the old days people complained a lot better.
Back in the old days the musical future was more unpredictable.

I only like music titles that begin with M.

All other music is garbage, AFAIC.

You guys are so frikkin' serious. Yikes.

It's not like you're going to be graded, interrogated, banished, crucified, etc.

Just like whatever you like. Who cares.

And remember,

"Just because millions of people tell you you're wrong, does not make you wrong.
The number of people who thought Hitler was right did not make him right."

Quoting Zappa talking about Hitler creates a judgment call scenario, but I'm gonna say that Godwin's Law has been fulfilled and this discussion has now officially reached the zenith of badness.

Sqye, according to a well-accepted corollary of the Law, you automatically lose the debate. It's nothing personal, it's just... the Law.

Moderators... SHUT 'ER DOWN!
