   Lord,   
      
   I do respect your commitment to audio but I have to take issue with   
   something you said.   
      
   I think CDs are too quite.  One needs to hear some popping just to   
   remind us that music, and life is not perfect.  I can't tell you how   
   frustrating it is to hear Pretzel Logic on CD.  It's so perfect that   
   my head starts to pound.   
      
   Vinyl is the true people's medium.  It is a part of our heritage that   
   should not be forgotten.  I am willing to give you $50.00 of your   
   first CD to vinyl transfer becasue I feel so strongly about this.   
      
   yours,   
      
   Roger
