So a couple days ago, Geoof popped up on the moderated online forum
"Progressive Ears" and began defending, in his own inimitable way, the
new album; his defense primarily based not on musical merits, but on
first day chart performance at places like iTunes, Amazon, etc. (charts
which change quite frequently each day, unlike the weekly published
charts at Billboard, etc.)

Today a moderator shut down their 100+ page Yes/H&E thread which had
been going on and on and on for months... Locked after only two days
into the actual album release period!

I didn't even get to engage Geoof in some sparkling repartee this time!
Dammit. :-)

I love how it was shut down - I had been reading it with interest just to see people's opinions. For the most part, everything was pretty civil -- it's almost as if the moderator shut it down b/c he just didn't like that it was the main focus of the board.
