Damn.  On the forum page it only reads "Simon Phillips vs. Chester".  Thought this was gonna be a poll about me.  Unhappy

Still voting for Chester though. 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

The only thing that impresses me about Chester is the people he plays with.

Simon for me.
