Re: Calling it the Who without...

Gary, re:

>I don't get involved in flame wars on principle (just a personal choice - if
others want to, go ahead - this is supposed to be a free forum on Who topics)
but no one has the right to tell me to get off the list for simply expressing
a sincerely held opinion on the current overall state of Daltrey's voice 

I'd say you are entitled to whatever opinion you want. If someone doesn't
like it, they're entitled to argue the point. Once something is posted to the
list, it's fair game... On the other hand, you don't need to defend yourself
regarding the "right to express your opinion". While some people disagree (I
supposenick I haven't caught up with the post "Hey you get off the list",
yet...) with THAT, too bad for them. There was one idiot on the alt.music.who
going on and on about Pete Townshend's "blissful" marriage and how it's so
wonderful that he's been married so long to the same woman and so faithful
and... So, I e-mailed him with a "taste" of the truth and he flipped out,
"HOW DARE YOU SEND THAT CRAP TO ME!!! THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!" and so on and so
forth. And then he sent me some choice comments about this and that... 

Hey, I'll challenge ANYONE on the list as to "who is a bigger fan", etc. but
part of being a fan, does not have to be a BLIND fanatic. The members of the
Who are people too and therefore are less than perfect. That's life...

Keep on truckin'...
