Of course you didn't, Pete. As I recall, Mike was just making a point to you about how some of our offerings naturally end up sounding similar, just because it's all done to the same music...he didn't mean to imply you had lifted anything from me. It was just a counterargument to your concerns in your "Paranoid Pete" post.

Good God, no. I have no issues with anyone here, especially not with the gentleman who wrote "The Other Side of Goodbye". Pete, you are a hell of a good writer.

Folks, in any contest, we always enter knowing there will be more losers than winners, don't we? Thing is, I can't find any losers here. It's just a feeling, you know. Let it go. We're all winners.
