I just read Mark DiIorio's message and I must say that it was the saving grace
of the entire list. THIS is why I subscribe - I want to communicate with other
people who have deep and heartfelt love for the music of the Who, as I do. It'w
the reason I sift through all the incredibly petty BULLSHIT I've been reading
from some of you who obviously have no lives. Come on, people, life is WAY too
short. The Who's music is what this is about, remember?

...another party heard from, to wit:

I just took a look at this listserv -- I subscribe to the Kinks list, among
others -- and I just couldn't believe it.  Who really cares what beer Pete
Townshend drank?  He would be completely disgusted with all of you to learn how
much you obsessed about it. And who cares whether the Beatles or the Who are a
better band?  Just listen to the MUSIC.  This is as bad as hanging out with
Trekkers.  Get some lives, folks.
