Re: Get Over Yourself (was Re: Elixir Strung-outs)

I'd liked it better when you were going to unsubscribe.
And it's Kim's list so shut up if you can't take a
fucking joke.

His facetious description of guitarists (especially whiners
like you) is so correct it hurts...you're living proof.

*I'm* a (sorta) guitarist and *my* fragile little ego was NOT
bruised in the least. Get over your self-important innerchild
or whatever guitarist-cliche-machismo trip you think you're on.

Geez...
