What a surprise.

Well, you know, size isn't everything.  (Check out soc.singles for lots
of articles that will boost your insecurity in this area.)

Why?  Why do you care?  What could it possibly matter to you? What if it
was just you and your short-fuse, Gertrude, who liked that shit -- I mean,
music?  Would you still like it?

If you answer that last question "Yes, dammit, I would!", then I suggest
you stop and think (assuming you can get your mind off Gertrude for a
minute): What the fuck do you care if Gene Ward Smith thinks it sounds
like two cats fighting in a garbage can?

Beat yourself with a tree until you figure it out.

Or until you collapse in ecstasy.

Whichever comes first. <hyuck,hyuck>
