I just heard about this today. With the news came a great deal of shame regarding how crumby of a fan I've been over the last year or so. I've had a love affair with DT for about 12 years now. BCSL should arrive on my doorstep tomorrow sometime. Also, I just registered here. This is my first, and likely my last post. I just wanted to express how I feel.

It feels like Optimus Prime just woke up one morning and decided to join the Decepticons, complete with a kneeling before Megatron ceremony. That's the best analogy that I can come up with. As upset as I am, I wish the best for both Mr. Portnoy, as well as what remains of Dream Theater, my favorite band in the world.
