Well, keep in mind that we're on a public discussion forum.  I took that 
into consideration before I actually sent that last email.  I looked at 
the 
original two-line version I *was* going to send as that last post and 
immediately had two thoughts.  My first was, "boy, I sound like a frickin' 
troll"; and my second, "there's nothing here that anybody on the list 
could 
possibly use as a constructive talking point."

So I went back and rewrote it with the first part considerably toned 
down.  Then, I added some content that anybody else on the list could pick 
up on for comment, attempting to generate some sort of real 
discussion.  Thus, I made those comments in order that it might open the 
subject up into something which possibly could be of interest some of the 
other participants on the list.  If you interpreted that as a 'lecture', 
my 
apologies.

...And if you're the same David Beardsley I've run across previously, 
there 
are a couple of kickass psycho-rockabilly albums in there as well, 
correct?  (although, it's been fully two decades since I've seen those, so 
I could be a bit sketchy there)

So it sounds as if you've actually had some success in "dragging the 
mainstream toward you".  Any thoughts on what's worked well for you in 
that 
process, and what hasn't?
