[Dixielandjazz] "All Star" thread and a question

 First of all, I am confused.  When I send a message to this address, does it just go to Bob Ringwald to be put up on the DJML, or does it go to individuals who are on the list?
I think that this has become a bit convoluted, at least from my post, which was the one that said "All Star put downs."
I had put a message on the list about the Stan Kenton Alumni Band touring in the East in April.  It is NOT called an all star band in it's name.  I had a sentence in the message about it being a "true all star band" with regard to the musicians who are in the band.
A certain band leader came on very soon after my message and had a whole tirade about all star bands and how many of the musicians weren't really all stars.
I then came on with my list of who is in the Kenton Alumni Band, and yes I was a little "miffed..."
I then saw a bunch of unrelated messages with the same subject title.
So - sorry if I caused any confusion.  I just felt that my describing the band as an all star group, as it really is, had been misconstrued.
