Duh.  It just seems they might have taken another song off Tommy to put 
on a single to promote the album more.

I did have a poll; that poll revealed that there were 30 people here who 
did not want to have the trash you post on this mailing list, and none 
who did.  As this is a self-selected population (people who choose to 
respond to a poll), the significance of the result in predicting what the 
other 250+ people on this list prefer is minimal; on the other hand, it's a 
hint.  Can you be a bit more specific about which parts of 'statistics' 
I should remember?

Emotion?  "Stop posting this crap to the mailing list" is emotional?  I 
am not emoting, I'm amused.  And few things are as amusing as your (and 
others') belief in the ability of the Who mailing list to arouse emotion.

Well, considering I'm a sarcastic bastard in real life, I guess you're 
getting a glimpse of "The Real Me".  However, as to the question posed by 
the first line of that song, the answer is no.

Don't count on it.
