I feel pretty much the same way and almost voted down the middle myself since I do prefer normal music talk, but then I had to reconcile that stance with my big list of comps that I maintain at my site, many with long drawn out descriptions, along with the fun I get hearing someone talk about one of my comps, so in the end I had to vote for like em and like to talk about em. Even though I do feel it would be nice if there was enough "real" music talk around here that comp talk didn't stand out as much. But that just doesn't seem too likely, especially now with this new format and only a few participants. Barely enough people for one decent sized clique anymore
