Billy, I think the gremlins who infect your keyboard have started
entering their own messages.

I'm assuming that you are including most of the symphonies, piano sonatas
and string quartets, the violin concerto, last couple of piano concerts,
Missa Solemnis etc.  etc.  in your "utter garbage".

You'll have to justify this outrageous claim.  Saying you don't like them
- or even hate them - is one thing.  Claiming that some of the Western
World's greatest artistic achievements are "utter garbasge" needs, IMHO,
some backing up.
