      If I were to insist that U2 is now greater than The Fabs

      without John, Paul, George and Ringo.


  That would be my second response, immediately following "are you out
  if your effin mind??"

If you check the cross-posted thread at

buddy Jim Booth giving me a bit of that, as well.... Jim is smart as
hell, but this is not a subject where he's at his most open-minded.....
