*List cut*

I agree that the content on this list has been beyond shitty for the
past month or so, and I love talking about boots and live shows.  That's
really the #1 reason why I am on this list.

Now regarding the above post, I read it, saw it was almost a direct copy
of the list in "The Concert File", and deleted it.  There just wasn't
much to discuss.  Hell, almost every Zep fan with a few boots would
agree with what was on that list.  I consider myself somewhat of a
"seasoned" collector and I have just about every show/session on that
list, and I almost totally agree with it.  I'm sure I could have replied
to the post and said "Hey man, I agree!!!", but I hate "me too" posts.  

I welcome Zep boots/live show content more than anything, but here's a
piece of advice: as long as there are idiots on this list who post
idiotic shit, you're gonna have shitty threads.  "Zep Sex Songs" was one
of the longest threads in a while, and it was pretty stupid.  But if
someone posts a review of a 1969 Zep show that _they attended_, only two
or three people will reply.  And that case has happened right here on
FBO.  Makes you wonder why some people are on this list...
