First off, This email came in addressed from:  Andrea <doria19@nwlink.com>

I would venture a guess based on the content that it is actually from Joe
Doria,  correct?  Anyway, I think the point that is being made is that while
you have the right to voice your own opinions, the majority of the people on
the list would rather not hear you degrade people on our list for having an
opposite opinion from you.  Keep your discussions technical and leave the
name calling for another less professional list.


As an example here are a few other Doria postings:

Yes A-100 casings are ugly - I own one also.
I AM DIRECTING MY COMMENTS TOWARDS THE SHMUCKS THAT CHOP B-3'S\C-3's.
If you don't own one to chop - don't reply.
Re-read the first message.

Sorry, but I'm gonna stick to my guns on this one buddy. When we see a
chopper...there 
is no mercy brother. They usually sound like they SHOULD be playin' on a
Korg M-1, or a 
Voce-xxx wanna -bee anyway.

So What you big talking blowhard. Anyone can create and and maintain a 
award winning homepage. I did for 3 years - STRAIGHT. The internet has 
been around for quite some time now tonto. BUT...most people are now 
just jumping on this train making it all seem like the "new thing". I 
suggest you come down to earth with the rest of us and quit your 
spouting. The features you've described have been improved and available 
to the public for a year now.

Sorry doc'...I just couldn't resist.

Well....I can see where you're coming from, but....I can't tell you how 
many organists I've seen who know no more than some quick hot licks 
(sweeping the keys, etc) and a few blues scales setting up there 
hammond to show the keys and such trying to "win" an audience over with 
the old antique beauty we love today.

        What most organists don't realize is that there are more hammond 
players watching them than they think.  For instance, I was sitting at 
the bar with Jack Mcduff in Philly listening to this Jazz quartet - 
Groove grass or something like that.  He turns to me and says, " Joe, if 
you ever start grandstandin' like that kid I'm gonna shove your leslie 
up your A--!.........
