      Ha, I thought some-one might call me out on that.

      I work strictly with pharmaceutical companiesa about as far from music as you can get. If I was trying to do some info mining I hope I would be smart enough to lie about my profession. :)

      I've been posting with DIS for a bit and I assure you I am a music fan, you can check my profile. I just thought it would be a fun thing to fill out. I actually just wanted to ask about people's ages at first because reading some of the comments here makes me feel old. It just just ended up being a whole bunch of questions.
