Belated thanks. I've bristled sometimes over the fights you've picked here. From now on I'll listen with renewed attention. You have impeccable taste.

In reply to I'm not sure about "best"

"Best" meaning "instant momentary personal savior". It might last for 3 seconds, possibly a year. But during that period, it's the "best. evuh." And meanwhile, your favorite band still sux. (best. t-shirt. evuh.)
