    Yes, I remember the concept. Foolish wasn't it?
    In the first place we are all too frustrated trying to overcome the insults
    perpetrated by computer and robots (including interactive voice response
    units in every customer "service" number. Secondly, discussing music is
    far less rewarding (thus motivating) than making music. Discussing loving
    relationships is far less rewarding than building them. Discussing a round
    of golf is far more rewarding than playing one (oops). ;-)

    The concept was interesting but there simply isn't enough cocaine to go around.

    Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt.
