Ahem #2 - 

MEREDITH LEAVE HER ALONE SHE HAS MORE TALENT IN HER LITTLE FINGER
THAN YOU COULD POSSIBLY HAVE.

Is it not possible for people on this list to express their likes/dislikes
of particular artists without being accused of being themselves talentless,
tasteless, etc.? What exactly are these attacks supposed to prove? If we
don't have a million selling single and/or play 27 instruments, are we not
allowed to comment on who we like and don't like? 

This sort of stuff is a waste of everyone's time. If you have points of an
artist's merit to debate, do so, but lay off the personal insults.
