In order to make my point I had to part from the comment made and I did
state "With all respect"...
And concerning Ricky Nelson, I could have mentioned Fats Domino... for I too
am a Ricky Nelson fan... If you read my posts carefully you'll notice that I
always treat the commentator with respect and make my point clear and,
hopefully, a good balanced read never intended to offend anyone... Let's all
just have fun here ok?
Cheers
Miguel
