Sorry. Again. It's just that I've been called a troll in two separate
places recently, one of them here, and this was posted, I believe, in
"The Mythic Cafe" on FaceBook (I think it was there, wouldn't swear to
it in court.) "The Coming of the Troll" is a title of 1:39 of music, by
Alexis Korner, which I found reasonably pleasing, though not necessarily
"pretty". I believe that it's part of a fantasy-themed show, or maybe a
suite of pieces, though not certain of that. I just thought it funny to
post to both Lists. (On the other one, if I disagree with the List
founder on any point at all, he can't agree to disagree, but calls me a
troll.) Here, you were present for the occasion. It's rock, and I
can't understand all the words. I don't think any of them are porn, but
I might be wrong.

I do know what you mean: it takes me so very long to download a couple
of minutes of video, that I'd usually rather not start. I didn't know
that not including an explanation was a break with a Tradition, but it
does annoy me when someone else does it: I want to know whether it's
worth the download.
