Sorry but if you post a video and then send an email to the list to view it, why should you expect everyone to like it? I initially said that I thought the performance to be poor and pathetic. I have a right to my opinion, just like the people who wrote back to the list in praise of that performance. Of course taste is subjective, I like Dijon mustard, some people don't like Dijon mustard...
If one cannot criticize a video posted on the list, then I shall abstain. Bruno On Wed, Dec 9, 2009 at 9:14 PM, Sergio F.
