 SD> That's the one.
 SD> My only objection is that they don't credit what they rip off.
   I agree.  It used to annoy me when I found out that some of the really
 cool musical bits were actually `borrowed' from the classical repertoire
 with even so much as an acknowledgement of the source.  ;-(
 SD> Borrowing classical themes is OK if you can pull it off, and they do.
   Yeah, I didn't mind at all that they did it.  I learned about some
 interesting music through Renaissance.  And you're right - they usually
 did it pretty well.  But it would have been so much more educational, not
 to mention more honest, if they'd credited their classical sources.
   Cheers,
            Martin
