Thought that The Rosenbergs gave a great set at the IPO NY show in December. 
  That was my only live experience of the band and I'm glad I had the 
opportunity to see a fine group of musicians fire up a room.

The sentiment of appreciation included in Sherman's initial message seemed 
to be very much in keeping with the thoughts of several others who sent 
notes expressing regret at the break-up of The Rosenbergs.  I didn't hear a 
call to drink The Rosenbergs Kool-Aid.

My understanding of the following discussion is that Mr. Borak didn't think 
it appropriate that The Rosenbergs were sent a collective thank you from the 
Audities list by way of Mr. Boim.  The fact that - in the aggregate - most 
Auditeers (including Mr. Borak) appreciated the band and its music seems to 
be immaterial to the heart of the matter.

What Mr. Borak seems to have needed was recognition that he wrote a positive 
review that was published and maybe, kinda' deserved a personal thank you 
from The Rosenbergs for said appreciative review and support thus enabling 
him to send The Rosenbergs a very personal YOU ARE WELCOME from ME.

I'm sure I'm mistaken but that is how it reads to me.  If so, can you really 
handle that?

I guess in retrospect I should have said, "Needless to say, I am sure all 
auditeers would respond to Evan, "You're welcome, you deserved our support."

Except John Borack who doesn't support you, since he doesn't enjoy your
music."

In retrospect, Sherm, maybe you should have read my follow-up posts more 
closely where I said that I LIKED THE ROSENBERGS' MUSIC. I GAVE THE RECORD A 
POSITIVE REVIEW WHEN I WROTE ABOUT IT. I just didn't think they were as good 
as some other folks do. It's just my opinion. Can you handle that?
