I have great respect for Jan . His work on his Cup of wonder site is immense
He echoes in his review the sentiments of many Tull fans. I certainly identify with what he says

Thanks for the link as it isn't posted on the Cup of Wonder site.

I will go out on a limb here and say that the other staff members also have great respect for Jan and are privileged that he joined our group and posted our link on his website.

When Mr. I.A. starts alienating the long term fans , who have stuck by them through thick ( as in brick ) and thin (as in Tall and female) and expecting and playing to the 50 or so fans fans who have never seen them before, then he should be ready to sell out about a 100 seat show.

I'm going to have to return to this later as there are too many points to have to get through tonight.

I would have to correct one thing you said and that is ;
He echoes in his review the sentiments of many Tull fans.

I would just like to change the word, many to : the majority.

Like you PP, I have a lot of respect for Jan, the guy has given incredible amounts of time and effort to promote Tull and provide a valuble resource for all of us as fans of Ian and Tull. I would also echo Dan's comments about how Jan is respected by the staff and board members here in general.

I think it is quite brave for Jan to write in this way, as it is the sort of thing that is all to easily flamed, ignored or even has him being personally maligned, but the truth of the matter is that his opinion deserves respect. He is not a journeyman fan, he is a long standing fan and an avid font of Tull knowledge which he happily shares.

I'm pleased to see that his opinion hasn't generated the type of flak that sometimes goes with entering this sort of territory, I would hope that's due to Jan's standing in the Tull community as well as having people here adult enough to consider differing or challenging opinions and offer rational debate.

Thanks for posting the link, it was a fascinating read and I think does indeed sum up a lot of fan's feelings.
