Okay, everybody, we've had our little bit of fun. Apologies to the one or two of you who are new and not in on the joke. There's no need to specify whose P&M since the nature of the title alone should make it very clear that the thread is a joke--and for those who've been around awhile it's equally clear that it parodies Eric's innumerable "Theists: Idiots or just stupid?" threads that appear with tiresome frequency and predictable regularity.
As for "Eric baiting"--can one really "bait" a troll whose every post year in and year out is an effort to bait someone into his little games?
Anyway, we've had our little fun and at management's request I will lock this thread lest someone take it seriously and get needlessly bent out of shape. Thank you for the leeway to allow us some sport.
And FWIW, I'm quite fond of Sibelius's P&M, likewise Schoenberg & Faure's, and even like Debussy's opera quite a bit--in spite of Eric's efforts to make us all hate it. It would be nice if we could have a thoughtful discussion of all these works on the music boards, but as many of us have long since learned, that can be very difficult with Eric about.
Thank you all for playing!
