We definitely have heavy hitters here!

Ah, so this is the source of the "conspiracy." A suggestion that something
is done. No, that's no conspiracy. Everyone's entitled to an opinion, and
this is certainly a valid one IMHO.

Although I have yet to read but one note on the PT list, I agree with you
here. No censoring should be done by members. If on the other hand the
person who sets up a forum wants to focus or shape it, that's another
matter. Anyone who doesn't like that can go elsewhere or accept it.

Nick:

Everyone is being heard, even if not acknowledged.

Wes:

Yes, and had Jimmy Page "involved" in the sessions as often as he could.
Oh, and I agree with you on this.

Fair enough...I do like it and was extremely pleased with the live version
from the `82 tour. But you are certainly entitled to like it least.

OK, so Sean and I had an EMail exchange on this, and only my note has
appeared on the digest thus far even though they were both Cc'ed to the
list. My guess (and my hope) is that it's a glitch much like the many times
Derick "lost" the list, but I am taking this opportunity to inform Paul
that Sean's notes are NOT being included. I'd like to be proven correct
that it's not intentional.
