I'm not bothered by him. He bitches no more than I do, so I can't really fault him.

These ranting threads about Brian's ranting are getting old. However, if my phone message service changed to how he says his has, I'd be livid! And since he's someone who needs a good/fast message service, he's so right to question what Vodaphone have done. Also, if it is costing more money to hear the messages back, that's even more of a concern. Well done to Bri for highlighting this.

Think Vodafone might respond to his rants? Probably. He helped the slaughter of Hedgehogs, and can make a lot of people aware of problems they might otherwise not be. Could you and I do that? No.
Rants can be constructive and positive. Think of them this way and you will not find them irritating. If you do, DONT READ IT.

Would you be so nice and stop these anti-Brian threads, please ?

I love Brian's rants, but he isn't vicious enough!

Guys, remember, he isn't posting his rants on the news or music-related parts of his site, he's posting them on the SOAPBOX.

Excellent point, Raf. It's the thing most people forget about Brian's site. And it never ceases to amaze me when people start these kind of threads complaining about what he's "ranting" about now.

Everyone complains...he just puts it where people can see it. I hate the useless, "this...call...was...left......at....." I actually find his complaining amusing to a degree. Sort of makes him more normal to me.
Everybody complains on the internet, it's just how it works. You sit at a keyboard and all of a sudden it's 2nd nature to pick on whatever is pissing you off at the time.
We've all done it; Brian just has a way bigger bunch of readers than us.
I'm sitting here imagining what some of you people would prefer to read on your heroes' blog. Hehe.

Brian Wilson should start a site with a "Sandbox" in which he can rant and talk about things in. After all, he did put his piano in the sandbox in the 70s!!!
^---Heh heh. That'd be awesome.
