[Dynagroove] WTF! Does no one care about DIZ anymore???

[D. F. Bacon]

Greetings, I have no idea who you are.. but when a
woman you (I presume)don't know asks you a question in
a public forum and you answer with a "sweetie"
attached to the back-end its sounds very condescending
in the least, and at worst sexist. 

I am not accusing you of either, but I am just telling
you what it looks like from the outside. For all I
know you could be a woman.  


Secondly, because you appear to have a different
definition of what House music is, could you please
define what house music is?

Let's not beat around the bush. I bet if you give us
your definition, and others give there the difference
will be so miniscule it will be insignificant. 

But first things first ChoiceSaturdays.. what is house
music?
