Congrats!
(I'm sure it's my 'congrats' that really meant something to him.)
Also, question based on your profile: do you really think bm is the "most versatile genre" of extreme metal (I could see an argument for this, I suppose), or could it be that you've experienced more of it and therefore have a better sense of its variations, or that the label is rather ambiguous?
I'm not actually arguing for either of the points it might appear that I'm trying to make there, by the way, just curious to hear what you think.
