dear Queenteen,
please don't apologize for your youthful enthusiasm. even if you're
eighty years old, your young mind may be the only open one here.
a lot of us have become jaded and our most pressing thought is in
dealing with whatever problem we have yet to solve and has held us back. we
are all on a quest. if our zeal and enthusiasm is not foremost in our minds,
is that quest really worth being on?
there have been a lot of silly topics in this list lately and i, for
one, have enjoyed them, but, they actually have less value than your
expressions of admiration for the singers you love.
you have a lot to learn, as do we all. don't let a little hazing throw
you off.

best of luck,
michael o'brien
