I meant: why should I make an effort if you don't let me know what you think about it ( like with the D'n'C-song )? I consider that as very inpolite. Ooh. I knew it. It's that american selfcenterness that bothers me.

No jyqm, not a slight against me, but maybe I did misinterpret in this case. My remark was about the tone of some of your posts, not about this individual example. But you know what's going on on the other side of the world inside a human being. It's never your fault. The defense is your automatism. I don't care normally. But it's great if someone pops up who has a general interest in music, where you can relate to, but is an arrogant/ dominant asshole too. I was just giving some feedback. You can do something with it or glue it under your shoes. I don't care.

I've been posting to Fleetwood Mac and other music message boards for... well, far too many years now. Some people initally find my tone jarring and arrogant; a few persist in feeling that way, but most get over it and realize never to take me too seriously, because I certainly don't take any of this too seriously. If you actually have a problem with something I write, bring it up with me, and I'll most likely apologize if I was being condescending or an asshole. In this case, I'm really not sure what tone you were reading into an off-hand joke about Elvis Costello being a sarcastic, pompous bastard.

You can continue playing the faux-humble European if you like, as I also don't care. But for the record, you're not on the other side of the world, at least from me. You're an 8-hour train ride, tops.
