No, I love pranks and stunts. But Jay was implying that he
would like to *de-emphasize* the stunt and that the content
of the CD should be more important, and yet keep the stunt
sort of there to help out. That's what I disagree
with. If you care about the content, let it stand on it's
own, don't ride the coattails of the Droplift Project to get
more attention.

I guess that's pretty much what I'm hearing. I think he IS
being very naive. But I definitely didn't mean to discount
the whole project, just voice my concerns.
