Well, that's really my point. Answering the actual question that was  
asked would, to me, come more under the heading of your first  
category. The people that want to hold you hostage for nine hours  
while they discuss why they don't care for liver, and who feel that  
your listening to it is a perfectly viable way for you to spend your  
time, well, that gets old _really_ fast.
