================================================ Subject: Re: NCR - whining DON'T READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ "CHATTING" From: "Keith Mears" To: Date: Fri 6 Jul 2001 18:28:23 -0500 ================================================ This is a well-thought and well-articulated response. To clarify a couple points you make, I myself have VERY diverse tastes in music, though I don't care for the "boy and girl pop" that is so prevalant now. I don't, however, knock anyone who DOES like them, and I totally agree with you about the "real" fan issue. As for being here just to stir up trouble, that is not the case. Perhaps my wording came across as OVERLY sarcastic (for that matter, it may have BEEN overly sarcastic), but my "purpose" in being here is to talk to other people who are nuts about Creed. It just happens that at the moment, there isn't much Creed "goings-on" to discuss. BTW, thanks for the compliment in your opening line! Feel free to join in one of our (all too infrequent) banter sessions! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gina Kovach" To: Sent: Friday, July 06, 2001 12:56 PM Subject: Re: NCR - whining DON'T READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ "CHATTING" > Hey, I think it's pretty funny reading everything you guys have to say > (Creed-related or not).
