Well, I think everything and everyone sucks. Nobody's talented, people use too much postwork (which is, of course, eeeeevil), the Hot 20 sucks, people have no taste, tits get the hits, pink ponies are more eeeeeevil than postwork, and yeah, it must be that time of the month around here.... ;-P On a serious note, this concept of "talent" has always kinda mystified me. I know that some people have more natural ability for some things, sure, but people hold up "talent" as if it's some mystical, magical fairydust or something. I gotta tell you, skill, practice, and education frequently count for a hell of a lot more in this world than "talent". I know LOTS of very talented people who have never achieved a damn thing with their oh-so-excellent talent, and a lot of folks with mediocre talent but lots of skill and determination who have succeeded greatly. Now let's argue about something REALLY important, like operating systems or mail programs or something. Sheesh. bonni
