Somehow I have avoided that song altogether. And regardless of which of those bands it is, I will very much seek to continue that.

Thanks for the warning.

You have my sympathy, just in theory.

So do you have an affinity to that awful Train (? or maybe it’s Maroon 5?) song about Mr. Mister on the radio? The stereo the something or other? Because I do, just because of eighth grade.

I didn’t discover the ‘Mats until 95, which totally qualifies me to be Oblivious Smurf.

On another note, I wouldn’t discover the ‘Mats until ’87, so it’s not like I was super cool (like I need to say that).

P.S. Yes, “How Will I Know?” is Whitney’s best song, and I’m not merely trying to avoid being a lame Smurf.

Thank you. I learned my lesson early. I trolled someone in the mid-90s on a message board and it was only one post. I could never sustain such meanness. I still want kick my ass for being such a bitch. Probably time to forgive myself for that one.

i think that is because, in no small part, you’ve helped make the internet experience such a positive thing for others!
