You know, to paraphrase Urban to me a day or so ago: all the work that went into that, all the time spent on it, all the data collected and all the factors involved, and THIS is all you got from it? Bitching about two small areas which, while certainly relevant, did not by themselves determine the outcome. I loked at as many different angles as I could, tried taking into account every aspect of each album, and came to my logical conclusion --- which I don't agree with, but it is what it is.

You know what? If you two are so smart, try doing it yourselves. It was not easy I can tell you.

Nah seriously, it's me that needs to apologise. I think I came off a little short and snappy

towards you two, but it's just when you've put your heart and soul into something, spent a long time trying to get it just right, and then the only comments turn out to be criticisms or complaints about a tiny portion of what you've been working on, well, it hurts, y'know?

But I realise nobody was trying to be nasty and I think my response was definitely a little heated, so sorry about that guys. Hope nobody took offence.

Man! This has been one long month!
