Hmm, yep, that about should sum it up. How about the following: Do it
like 'I' do. If you LIKE something, tell the artist that you like it
and tell others in case they like it, too.
But if you DON't like it, then SHUT UP! NOONE wants to hear what you
don't like. It's like criticising everyone who likes it!
So, do it like the old advice from your Mother says: If ya don't have
anything nice to say, say NOTHING!
