But that's probably true (well, not that it's all we
got, but that obsessive moaning about it is not
productive.)  If members of this scene decided to send
out a bunch of emails to the editor of the EB Express
complaining "It's flautist, asshole!" or "nice use of
triplets, moron," at some point we'd probably be less
likely be featured in future issues.  That may not be
fair, but it shouldn't come as a shock.

Still, that's not what George was talking about.  He
was talking about the obsessive monday morning
quarterbacking that goes on within BA-NEWMUS, which is
of course, hardly exclusive to this li'l clique.  Nor
is it a Bush-esque attempt to shut down debate (yeah,
good luck with that in this forum).
