[kj]Alex is Actually Still Right

[Alexander Smith]

For a start, Pierre, I didn't call you a racist or a sexist. I *DID* 
call you a "dick," because you are behaving like one.

Secondly, please cite the source of the text. Moreover, unless you were 
*AT* that particular gig and *REFERRED TO IT SPECIFICALLY* in your 
original post (which you did not), you're still wrong. In any event, 
the version of "Song to the Siren" on IT'LL END IN TEARS by This Mortal 
Coil (featuring MEMBERS of the Cocteau Twins) **PRE-DATES THE RADIO 
SESSION YOU ARE NOW ALLUDING TO BY A DECADE & A HALF"** What's more, I 
do not believe this particular session was over officially released to 
the marketplace.

You could take it a step further and suggest that the Cocteaus were 
actually covering the cover.

So, to sum up, you're still wrong, you're still stubborn and -- yes -- 
you are still a silly dick in critical need of a mouth diaper.
