The concept you mention is easy enough to understand. I just disagree. IMO - the
SSDF list should be taken as seriously as the MTV Music Awards, or the Academy
Awards programs.

Why don't we just agree to disagree and leave it it that. You have your opinion
about the SSDF list, and I have mine. I simply posted my "opinion," not provable
facts, as it is not important to me, much like the MTV awards.

Kind Regards,
