I would like to add my perspective on this tangent of "piling on." First, I agree with the eloquent words of Gary and Ed.
Often I find myself in the minority here regarding certain songs or certain albums. But that is okay. So much is subjective. Each opinion can still be respected and valid.

- Some are also well versed on all things musical and all things Carpenter.
- And certain people (GaryAlan---I'm talking about YOU) go well out of their way to do research and provide us continually with a wealth of facts, statistics, and quotes as well as much more. Thanks again!
- Certain people provide pictures, anecdotes, links, and heartfelt stories.
