Hello Listers, My name is Ron Zinkel, and I live in San Jose Ca. Many years of listening to opera and studying voice, and an observer on this list since its beginning. Three points today: Point #1 : It is sad that the "church joke" (apologies to RMO) and the Bocelli flap (is he is or is he ain't a/an opera singer), have taken up time on this vocal-list. Searching the archives on other forums will show that all the bases have been covered. Point # 2: Ditto for Wagner/nazi/anti-semite etc. ad nauseam point # 3: What do malmsteen/clapton/have to do with vocalist temporary? That's VOCAL-list! Maybe the list needs a daily limit of 2 posts to curtail verbal excess. If i ever figure out how to do it, I'm going to filter church/Church, Bocelli/bocelli, Nazi/nazi, malmsteen/mal.., guitar AND countertenor. I love this list, deplore some topics, and have the greatest regard for Isabelle for her initiative in developing it. Eliminate "temporary". Vocal best wishes. Ron
