Well said. Please please please close this thread. This is a humble request.
And for heaven's sake, lets stick to ARR and his projects. Because that the only common point in this group. We may disagree on everything else in the world. There may be numerous good albums releasing daily all over universe, and each of them will be liked by someone or the other in this group. If they all start posting about their favorite albums, then that would take this group elsewhere. Please lets be diligent enough to stick our discussions to ARR or atlease semi-ARR. Because, i say again, that the only common factor in this group. Thanks, Vinod --- In [email protected], "Sribalaji" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Please friends, stop the thread.
