  Glenn, you are 100% correct. We don't have to be dead serious ALL the
time. Also, if some people are constantly looking for negatives ( even when
none exist), I feel they should lighten up, OR re-read the post a second
time.
  Artists (and I DO mean artists, of which we have many) SHOULD be allowed
to promote their stuff, aren't we all family? Aren't we here to support our
world?

  Your words "I can't even begin to tell you, etc." show how a gentleman
thinks. Being that YOU are one of the TEACHERS, I find it refreshingly
humble.
