--> Lol, you're almost apologising for your taste here! You shouldn't. I don't really like how someone brought this up and "corrected" you about your sig, when you didn't ask for opinions. However, I feel a rant coming on ...
I love BtN, but I do have a problem with the elite that's formed here. A couple of people, who all share a specific taste and have formulated rules of "legit" and "not legit", tend to team up and give others (especially newbies) patronising lectures about why the names they like are not legit. The way they come across is not "I don't like such-and-such" but "such-and-such is wrong, no room for discussion". It's very tiresome imo, and I don't think anyone should think of themselves in this elevated position. Everyone else's opinions are no less valid.
So whatever you do, make no apologies for your style. That'll only encourage the controlling regulars I'm talking about ;-)

Yeah we'll die in the class we were born
That's a class of our own my love"
