Gang,
Well, first of all, thanks for everyone's opinion. I'm glad
that more than just one or two of you provided input here.
Second, and just as important: Bruce, I'm sorry to have heard
about your back. I'm happy to report that I don't have that
problem, but it must be due to pure dumb luck, not any
"thinking of the future" that I was blathering about a few
posts ago. That kind of maturity didn't come upon me until
very late in the game, I'm ashamed to admit. Anyway, best
of luck, and when the chiro gets ready to trade up, ask him
for his old Lexi.... after all, you practically paid for it! <g>
For what it's worth folks, I don't think that anyone here is
a 'nazi' about his opinion. Each of you has his/her reasons
doing what he does, and no one, least of all me, can take that
away from you. There have been some good questions proposed
along the way, such as when is it progression from the
original; what's more important, tone or appearance; etc.
If it were up to me, I'd say that between us all, we've got
all the bases covered, both in preservation of history and in
making sure the future doesn't observe this genre as 'stagnant
or dead' in some fashion.
But, if you'll let me, I'd like to ask one more question,
somewhat related to Bruce's situation. If tone is so important
to you, do you wear earplugs? I'll start the ball by admitting
that yes, I do in fact wear 'em, and have done so for more than
25 years. If you're interested, I'll give my opinion on why
my choice of earplug is one of the best "health investments"
you'll ever make.

p.s. Sorry, I'll probably one be checking in once a day for
the next several days - the other half has seen the sun come
out, and you know what that means! <lol>
