just my opinion. take it or leave it.

NO you look! hahahaha

I did and fully accept.

oh, now we're friends? you sound like my junior high school band teacher Joe

like I said in a previous post, "one man's cookie cutter is another man's
holy grail." You can't argue about taste in music. well, I guess you can,
but I don't see why you'd want to.

it's just my opinion, you don't have to agree. it's not misinformation. do
you feel like I'm pressuring you to agree? I'm not and I'm sorry if you are
intimidated by my strong opinions.

no, he'd have my opinion

ok, be the opinion police and enjoy yourself then.

no, I'd offer my own opinion and experience and not feel the least bit
defensive. I've only heard those kinds of things said about M.I. and Berklee
though. No one could accuse U of Miami of being a factory atmosphere.

I think that when people are out to prove something by offering up their
resume or the people they hung with at school they are missing the point of
the post entirely. sorry you were offended by my offering my opinion yet
again. I'm really not out to offend you, I just wanted to share what I think
with the group.
