Probably. :)

When you quoted Picasso I thought you were serious. :)

Sorry.

A thanks for the enlarged statement above, as I cannot remember when I laughed that hard for that long!
You are my guest.
In my language there is a saying, dogs bark, fools laugh, dunces confederate, but this suffers grievously on rendition in English.

Romy

You have no idea Carol, sometimes I bark, or when feeling especially vivacious I may even bite, but that is not to the point of the matter.

Your logic is flawed, and beyond reproach! Your logic seems to suggest that if someone steals a car, then installs an incredible revolutionary engine that runs on cow farts (methane) , this somehow justifies the theft? The problem is sometimes the thief gets caught and goes to prison, or in some places/states (Texas comes to mind) he is shot by the rightful owner. Capiche?
That's right. As long as it's nighttime, the moon shines, and the coyotes howl, I can shoot dead from my second story bedroom window some shadow I see in my driveway breaking into my car.

No.
Rap musicians must clear their sampling by getting prior authorization.
While of course you are much cleverer than I, relevance of the above factoid either to Mozart or to Mr Rajlich may be hard to establish.

Any samplings, permitting the analogy, was mental.

Very lucid answer showing the (lack of) strength in your argument.

I cannot argue with conflaters of vivacious and vicious, or those who believe that saying my logic is "beyond reproach" is a reproach.

I can refrain, here there is no car, only an engine. The car is like the UI of chessbase or arena. The engine is the moot. So your counter-analogy is within reproach.

As to random shooting of innocents, as the incendiary last paragraph suggests. In this way the world lost the chupacabra to the cowboy-- http://elsuenoamericano.wordpress.com/2 ... hupacabra/

Let us be more 21st century, please.

Can it be you confuse the divergence of my answer from your worldview, and its strength or lack?
