Hmmm. I think I should do what I want to do.

When they're like "Lay Down Sally" and "Wonderful Tonight": absolutely. When
they're good, passionate, and intense: I couldn't ask for more.

I'll let the above three lines speak for themselves. I wouldn't want to
lessen their impact on the reader.

There you go again, telling me what I should and should not do.

you here state some very personal and subjective opinions as if they were

That's YOUR problem. I have never in my life written the words "absolute
values" on any page or web site. And I don't believe that I've EVER written
the word "evil" here.

Mostly, what I state ARE my opinions. However, I think it would be redundant
to say so, when I sign my name to the end of each e-mail. I think that most
readers know this, but a few have problems figuring this out.
