The point I was trying to make is that if there are forty channels for different genres, all of which are for competitions between thickly-produced songs, why have a channel called, "Singer/Songwriter" for competition between thickly-produced songs? I think it's a wasted opportunity for OurStage to further diversify, and it discriminates against songwriters who don't have, or don't wish to employ, production facilities.
Songwriters realize most listeners don't care to make the distinction between the song and the production of the song. But songwriters do, and it would be nice if they could pit their songs against other songwriters' songs, exclusive of songs that derive additional value from the production.

If you're just going to fan the flame, piss on it!
