Is it? I've always thought of indifference as the opposite of love. At least with hate there's still some emotional involvement. Not so with indifference. Franklin, I don't know where you got the idea that insulting remarks are the normal way of writing here, unless it's the banter between the Bobs and, to a newcomer, I guess that could look like serious stuff. It's not. It's jesting and jousting between long-time friends, and I find the "competition" affectionate and very funny, rude though it may seem sometimes. People sometimes get into heated arguments here about ideas, but generally try to avoid personal insults, and for the most part are successful in doing that. Aiming for such respect is one of the great things about this list, along with learning about new music and knowing months in advance if there's even a hint of an upcoming Joni concert. That's especially important to me since I signed on to make sure I'd never miss a concert again, as I did in the 80s. This list experience has turned out to be much more than that. Debra Shea P.S. Is everyone saving their pennies for the Joni tour Moni mentioned? Seeing her this time is going to be expensive... NP: Bruce Cockburn's "Dart to the Heart". Took me a long time and lots of mentions of Cockburn on this list before I was willing to give his music a try, and am glad I finally did. This is a wonderful cd.
