All posts, including mine here and the one I am referring to, are opinions. As to, can't remember the so-called offenders name, the original email; my opinion is that the suicide comment crossed a line that should not be crossed and was probably written solely for the intent of being provocative and eliciting response.

Just haven't had the energy to fully enjoy it in there yet. But really & truly, I have to say that whatever my fave track is seems to be one playing. I do lean heavily towards "Dreamland", "Jungle Line" and Judgement but ask me tomorrow and I'll likely give you different roster.
