I'm actually the one who started it, and I didn't mean for it to be arrogant. I honestly thought that Caio had been sent some kind of bogus site that he was getting upset about, and when I went to it, I didn't even type in my vital information, because doing so makes me nervous. There are too many viruses and too many scam artists out there for me to share information with ... I had no idea that this was a joke, I have a very good sense of humor -- for a classical singer :) -- I seriously thought that this was some kind of scam and was just saying that I thought we should watch out for this kind of thing.
And as far as jokes, I think that it's better if we confine jokes on the list to music-related, whether they're classical or not. Personally, I only send jokes to people I know well, and only send jokes that I think they'll like. Otherwise, I don't want to waste their time!

"Humility is the acceptance of the possibility that someone else can teach you something else you do not know already, especially about yourself. Conversely, pride and arrogance close the door of the mind." -- Arthur Deikman, The Observing Self
