That's a really good link, thanks for putting it up. Sorry BungalowBill, but I think Don wins hands-down on the link and evidence side - as far as the debate goes. That guy from Rochester makes some really interesting points about expression and communicating feelings and its encouragement through musical styles. I've got to say that Bill's link wasn't so hot, the guy on that site answers his critics by complaining about spelling and grammar mostly, giving very little actual argument and CLEARLY using the straw-man technique of picking the worst mail to reply to, so that he doesn't need to actually present an argument.
