If only you would ask me politely, I would post it once more especially for
you :-).

Yep.  And I won't change a word about it.

Two things:

   1.  All of your `criteria' were only measures of the popularity of STH.  I
   never claimed that STH wasn't popular.  But you still have to show me why I
   should have any reason to take STH as a honest rock song.  To me, STH still
   is a boring masquerade, a popularity trick, and whatever nasty words I chose
   in my previous postings...
   
   2.  An opinion cannot be wrong.  All you can accuse me of is probably not
   being honest to myself.  But I can assure you, I am.  STH stinks!  (IMHO.)

Sorry, wrong address here.  It's some other listers' task to perform this
initiation rite with you.

If you want me to insult you, you have to be a little more clever than that.
Just as a suggestion:  Why don't you answer every derogatory remark on STH
PRIVATELY with a reminder that this is off-topic, threatening to send more of
those reminders as long as the person in question keeps bashing STH?  Well,
this isn't entirely new, but it always works... :-)
