OK, it was a quip.

Re: I don't like fast Irish tradition music. Give me my airs.
We need a poll that rates the popularity of airs, jigs, reels, and stuff but I don't know anything about ITM to know what all the choices are. I would appreciate if someone made this poll and put the word "Smackdown" in the title of the poll. Please Denny, please. I'll use an emoticon.

Since nobody has yet done so (regarding the unfortunate OP's thread title) may I point out that he needs nobody's help - he is evidently quite capable of giving himself airs
