Well, gee whiz, Michele:  thanks for leaving me OUT!  "Jack Kund"?  Who the
hell is THAT?  Maybe you mean Jack Kuncle?

Just curious.  Who gave you this "list"?  Butterman?  Probably.  It figures.
Where is Don Sohan?  We played many a game together back in the 80s.  Yeah,
Butterman probably "forgot" Sohan: plays Butterman's butt upside down and
backwards.  No dork to Butterman: Sohan plays almost EVERYBODY'S ass the
same way!  Chuck Hedges?  If Chuck EVER played a Cubs game, he'd never admit
it!  

Question: Michele Curatola:  Have you ever seriously questioned whether or
not you should be writing articles about people of whom you know nothing, of
whom you are obviously merely recounting objects, knowing nothing of their
music, of their skill, or of their lack of it.

Michele, I'm sure you are a very nice young lady (or old lady, as far as I
know): but about OKOM you should really SHUT THE HELL UP.  OR LEARN MORE.
Sorry to shout.  But, dear heart, you bother me!
