Dear Wernehm_Zackariaah,

I'll ignore for the moment the sound advice to not feed the trolls, and offer this as sincere constructive criticism. I hope it will be taken in that spirit.

You obviously have a great passion for Mr. Zappa and his work, as well as a sharp sense of humor and fine command of the English language. Apparently at some point during this discussion (the middle of page 14, if I'm not mistaken), you "went around the bend", as they say, and now you're enacting your revenge on the supposedly ignorant masses of this little corner of the internet. Constant Dave Kendall references (I had forgotten all about that guy) and a bizarre insistence that everyone here loves Interpol seem to be the motif.

Fair enough. Let us suppose that all of that is true, that things are as you say. Might it not be a better and more productive use of your time and typing skills to spread the gospel by writing a book about Mr. Zappa? I'm thinking some kind of critical biography/discography, chaptered according to each release. Chronologically would work best for me, as a reader. You could pour it all into this project, and I think it could be very good. I'm serious. I would read it. You could self-publish through a place like Lulu.com -- print-on-demand, with no upfront cost to you -- and if you'd need help with layout/design of such a thing, I'm sure I could lend a hand or suggest someone who could help out.

It just seems like, if you're writing several thousand words a day here, mostly to make fun of everyone's inferior musical tastes and decisions, and that it all started during this heated Zappa thread... Well, if you wrote 3,000 words a day on the Zappa book, in a year you'd have quite a hefty tome on the man and his work, and maybe more people would get the message you're trying to send.

Think it over. I am quite sincere.

Regards,

Mr. King
there is only one clear path and it's paved with bacon.

Thank you, Mr. SuperKing for being able to channel positivity.

I would actually be incredibly interested in reading such a book.

Salut!
It's like you put everything into a bottle inside itself.
