Geez, Neal, if folks like you don't listen to those piles of twang
hopefuls, and then sift out all the crap, then we're gonna have to do all
the dirty work. C'mon, we depend on you guys to sacrifice your ears to the
common weal, to save all the rest of us schmucks from wasting untold
fortunes on Twang Devil, and Barbed Heart, and Cowboy Ear, and Dudley
Doright and the Mounties, and, aw, you know what I mean. So, buck up, son
and get back to work. There's another dozen pieces of twang shit to listen
to, in order to find that one diamond. -- Terry Smith (now, who the hell
is Pete Krebs?)
