ROFL. Well put. I continue to drop by manicmenopause every now and then 
to have a laugh at how pathetic the gal who runs it really seems. It's 
almost entertaining to guess which responses to her comments are really 
other people and which ones are probably her posing as others. As I 
believe Teleri has pointed out, all you need to do is bring up Jimmy's 
name and she freaks out, dropping the censorship axe without mercy. If 
you look around her forum, there are a couple of examples where 
well-meaning fans of Robert who view his whole career as important and 
not just everything non-Zeppelin made the mistake of brining Zeppelin or 
Page into their comments and she immediately jumps on them.

She claims her site is dedicated to Plant's entire solo career and 
includes glowing coverage of his collaboration with Krauss, but of 
course there's nothing about his 90's collaboration with Page. If she 
really had such respect for Plant the solo artist, she would cover the 
Page-Plant years as a unique collaboration just as the one with Krauss, 
the way Plant himself did, and not as an extension of Led Zeppelin. In 
fact, her treatment of it reinforces the notion that she really does 
hate Page for whatever reason she may have. Hmm, maybe she encountered 
his rumored whips back in the 70's or something. ;-)

The most laughable recent development was her attack on John Paul Jones 
at the end of October for making the comment that Robert Plant no longer 
wants to make loud music. She took it as being condescending and an 
attempt by JPJ to "lessen Robert." All one has to do is watch the video 
footage of Jonesy making the remark and realizing he was just making a 
friendly, honest comment and not trying to be clever.
