		<description><![CDATA[OMG, this is awesome.

I wasn&#039;t gonna respond to this comment because, 1.) I mean, what is there to respond to? and 2.) I thought it was hilarious that this was the only comment anyone bothered to make. So, Anonymous, at least you get props for interacting.

But, I do feel compelled in a way to defend my honor, and so, I&#039;m posting the following, not as an instant reaction, but because I think we can all learn something from our anonymous commenter.

So, hear goes...

Dear Mrs. Anonymous,

Your comment illustrates all that is wrong with the classical establishment:

1. You&#039;re a snob.

2. You substitute tired snark for critical thought.

3. You have no sense of humor.

Try opening your mind. It won&#039;t hurt. I promise! It actually feels really...really good.

xoxoC.C.

P.S.
Did I mention that you&#039;re a snob? I did? Oh, good. Just checking.]]></description>
