I apologize for my previous comment being rather terse. I should have taken the time to write a more reasoned reply. I was responding to this: > I don't want to put words in your mouth, but are you saying you think we should go back to the way musicians used to be treated in the past? > That's a rather reactionary position. That was just the start... > Historically, women in most societies were treated very poorly... > Slavery was the norm in many societies for thousands of years... And these had what to do with the original comment? Then the coup de grâce: > If you want to argue that... This is the very definition of putting words in someone's mouth! And it's not a nice thing to do.
