I like Bloke's post just above. It's just like Bloke to post something that's likely to put a slightly unlikely spin on "like". Sometimes we think alike, like it or not. Also: I liked Ike.
MISERICORDE, n.
A dagger which in mediaeval warfare was used by the foot soldier to remind an unhorsed knight that he was mortal.

"Liking" indicates that people are discriminating towards just a few things and away from billions of other things, and that's just not fair. It's probably just plain mean.
I disagree. It only means that a person has not had the opportunity yet to experience the rest of humanity so that a decision as to "like" or "not like" can be made.
This expresses itself in two ways, the classic and modern.
The classic: (Will Rogers) "I never met a man I didn't like."
The modern: (John Barrymore) "The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time."
1. The abundance of fascinating musical knowledge.
2. The low brass for sale - I'm always looking to add to my collection.
3. The low brass (and occasionally other) pictures.
4. The instrument reviews.
5. It's a bunch of low brass players. What could possibly be better?
