Perhaps a few more smiles would have been in order. I was merely saying that
most people prefer RHPS with a.p. This does not make you wrong. Oh, and RHPS
IS available on video in Britain - pity you're in the USA.

As a matter of interest, how many RHPS fans out there listen to the soundtrack
and do you do so for the music or to re-create the film ?
