safetymeeting I got all pumped when I saw the purple icon. I like what you have to say, Wally, and I'm always glad to read your comments and reviews. It's OK to be smarter than most people, but you're only gonna drive yourself nuts dealing with some people in the world on the internet.

The argument someone made against your "Phish blogger" comment was incorrect. A sportscaster saying a clutch dinger would silence detractors is reasonable. A slugger in a slump probably hears about it from his detractors quite a bit. . .if he's "big" enough, sports talk radio, the local/national newspapers, the news media, bloggers and the public at large that are either fans of the player, team or just aware of someone in a slump. When he hits a walk-off homer or something, it silences his detractors; and he probably wants it to.

Whereas Phish probably doesn't care what four online bloggers have to say about them. I'm sure they do a little, but they're a major rock band. They're gonna be successful, and the blogs saying that Phish is playing well, but not quite to their peak, but really well isn't something a major rock band would work on giving a "f--- you" to.

Where am I again?
