Hi Bob and Madferit. I'm glad someone saw the humor in my post. It is a frustrating topic. Typically they are the ones that if they arrive during your performance, will also talk to someone else and not pay attention to you at all either.

I kind of reminds me of the Washington Post article about Joshua Bell (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/04/AR2007040401721.html). Even with top quality performances, people have a different mindset these days.
