This must be a Beethoven love-fest.  I thinki it's more reasonable to say that some other composers stand tall next to Beethoven...

How can anyone find humor in something that is simply so absolutely true? I mean, class of his own. For god's sake, he has won every single poll/race we have ever staged here, including write-ins in ones he wasn't even entered!    And if that doesn't settle it, what would?
