Oh, don't just quit. Take a vacation and come back after awhile. I think you write intelligently and interestingly and I'd miss you. There are certainly a lot of children on the forum who think that uncritical praise of everything ARR ever does is a good idea, but they just don't know any better. And there are some mental illnesses manifesting here of Rahman-Worship that the composer himself would certainly condemn. So it's nice to hear comment that is both appreciative and critical and I hope you keep it up. I agree with you that becoming aged leads to the ability appraise and not just praise. Next you just have to learn to ignore the whining of the kids.
