"This" as in "what I am saying now" as in "this message" as opposed to a
potential 10,000 following messages.

Blithering?  I made a comparison between two performers, one who
presents a very negative and detrimental sexual image (Madonna) and one
who presented a very positive and beneficial sexual image (Kate Bush).
It's an important issue and relevant to the conversation.  If I use Kate
Bush as an example of a female performer who presented a positive sexual
image, I do so because I am familiar with her work and because she is
one of the very few female musicians who ever did present a positive yet
very sexual image.

I was blithering?  You just posted a message to net.music about
pre-menstrual syndrom!  What do you call that?

P.S.  I guess not all people named Catherine are reasonable.
