What about it, IED?

I have now come to expect that my messages will never appear in LH, or
that, if they do, I will never see that issue of the digest, but I am
determined to try one more time.  IED recently attacked Ray Trent and
all of Ray's message EXCEPT:

> (note that he didn't ask for albums that were more "elitist",
> "pretentious", and "noisy", even though these mean much the same things to
> many people)

This, of course, cuts to the heart of IED's so-called argument because
"sophistication", "refinement" and "complexity" are little better than
"QUAILTY" as objective measures.  Of course, I expect IED to rise to this
challenge as to all others, and so far he HAS been winning the verbal
battle.  Except for those who have seen the light and realize he isn't
serious.
