Man, that was almost a week ago -- hope you enjoyed your nap.  Looks like
you waked up a bit cranky, though.

Perhaps you'd care to review your actual words instead of your memory of them:

Now, that says to me that you ESPECIALLY LOATHE commercialism from The Who.
If you're now saying that "enjoying the exposure" means that you DON"T MIND
commercialism from them, I'll accept that.  Of course, that means that
instead of your sentence being coherent but odd, it's internally
self-contradictory -- i.e., meaningless.

You vas deferens.  Shut up.
No, you shut up.
   No, YOU shut up.
No, YOU shut up!...
