Actually, I rather think he doesn't see it. That par for the course for
him.

This has nothing to do with music Carbon. Mike is retaliatory to
anyone who points out his myopic, ultra-right, narrow-minded, thought.
He would use any excuse to cast aspersions at me, even though he has
no idea of what he's talking about. From his post he suggests that he
knows my reputation in the music field. I'd be happy to know from
whom, and why his opinion is more deserved than theirs.

So you know more about music than BK and you know more about economics

genera. I just said that bk is full of BS.
