Mathew, I completely agree with you. I too am tired of the negativity and whining that goes on in here. I made a request for those to stop the constant whining and pointless negativity in another thread.
Most members in this group I feel are mature and balanced and contribute to healthy, intelligent discussions....there are only a few immature members who keep beating the same negative drum that really irritates the rest of us, as you know. I know what you mean about the good ol days of this group...I was there too. I'm no perfect poster and I've had my not so great moments in here, but I try to be balanced and contribute in a positive way to healthy and meaningful discussion of ARR's music. Hope we can continue the great traditions of this group without letting a few distract and divert us. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Matthew Islam <matthewis...@...> wrote: > > For crying out loud...... for the flak that the song is receiving from some > people........ its really not deserving. > > The song is pretty catchy and has a great energy to it.
