Hey Bob.

Thanks for what you do even though what you do is unappreciated by some.

Hey Jim:

Wiggins certainly did not "insult everyone on this list". Far from it. Speak
for yourself, not for "everybody".

Hey everybody else:

Is this a great list or what? <grin>

IMO the DJML is a lively discussion forum where ideas and information are
readily available. Have a little patience and understanding about why some
folks who make their living in music get upset about "problems" concerning
the business of music and all will be well.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
