Your comment seems a bit of a non-sequitur. It makes it difficult to
understand why you are on Parlour if you feel such affection for seeing
people without the thumb of a moderator. I'd think Parlour was quite a
deprivation then, instead of a joy.

Yes, and you can try to reach that goal without the snide comments to me,
Charlie and others.

"Passive-aggressive" might be an interesting term for you to look up, Ken.

Any story needs an enemy or more than one even

You dont have a story if you dont have an enemy


That is is why moderated groups dont work

For a genius you are pretty stupid sometimes Charles

It's just a way to make sure that Jay sees the post, Mark, since he pretends
not to read me directly.

He'll be able to figure it out, I assure you. Quite a coward, but he's got
an Aryan boyfriend I hear. It must all be about Wagner.

But isn't it always?


PS Will you join me in supporting Cindy Sheehan against Nancy Pelosi for the
House in 2008?

PPS Heard any good music lately?

Hmmm... Jay has never taped live performances at the MET - never. Someone
seems to be flailing out a bit - perhaps he is due for a little
self-analysis!!!! Richard

Well, it wasn't a very nice way to describe Katherine Jenkins on her own
official site, however true it is ;-)

Not only cultural between UK and US, but very much class and ethnic. It's
not nearly as homogenous here as it (was) in the UK until fairly recently,
remember that, but still there was a kind of equivalent of "Received
English" that set out 'no-no' words.
