the post called: Diamonds And Pearls - The Evolution LONG!

It's a reasonably interesting thread, but I can't help thinking that the person who started it was just boasting.

Sorry, but there you are.

Strangely enough, T has an extraordinarily thorough understanding and knowledge of this shit... I know him from the old days at AMP and let it be known that he is not full of shit at all.

He used to work there.

I didn't say that he was full of shit, I'm sure that everything he says is true. I just get the feeling that he posted purely for the adulation that he's getting from his thread.

Where is the thread located? I'll go read it if ya tell me where it is!

See, this is EXACTLY why I never posted anything in the past in here and probably won't again in the future.

No matter WHERE I post SOMEONE has to jump up and claim that I'm bragging or on some "ego trip"... I'm trying to give INFO, REAL INFO to a group that is SUPPOSE to be interested in it. Instead I get shrugged at as if I'm doing something wrong!

Is PER NELSEN Bragging when he writes his books?

WHERE in my post did you read "I have this and you don't so ha!"

Jesus man, why can't a person talk about something ON TOPIC in a Prince newsgroup / message board without someone criticising it?

Maybe I'll change my posts to "Prince's Haircuts - The Evolution"... bet THAT would generate a load of intrest.

So much for bringing intelligence to this place.

Please don't let a very few number of people here prevent you from sharing anything important with the majority of us who truly are interested and appreciative. Some of us have enough ego-strength not to be so jealous of you...

Well, if his background affords him with rare tapes and insight into Prince history, of course he will receive adulation. I don't mind, we only gain a bit of insight into the nature of the art that drew us here.

There was already intelligence. Well, in about 5 people At any rate, all your emphasis on words, your capitlization, reminds me of the dude from Daria, the teacher, you know?! I can just see your eye bulging out of your head as you type...

I hope you continue to post more informative topics -I find them very interesting. You certainly have a lot of knowledge in the topics you discuss!

Don't let it get to you... I know where you are coming from and I have a lot of respect for your knowledge and your fucking amazing collection! We traded on AMP years ago and you always had the BEST stuff out there...

Anyway... you can certainly talk about Prince's buttcheeks and get some conversation going on here but I would probably stick to providing great (yet underappreciated) information to the mindless masses.

Great idea, Starboy! That way, if someone wants to flame away, he/she can do it here, and not on T's excellent thread.

The ultimate irony would be for this one to get more attention than the original.
