Normally I wouldn't waste bandwidth on this kind of discussion, but I
don't like it when people say that I'm full of shit (it's obnoxious to
say, you could just say I'm wrong, if you're going to lower yourself to
the level of insults have the balls to come down to Konkrete Jungle, say
it to my face and I'll stomp a mudhole in you're ass, punk ass bitch!)

How do you know what his drumming sounded like... follow my reasoning
here... if Paul went into the studio and secretly re-recorded many of
the drum tracks, I would contend that you are a fan of PAUL'S drumming,
not Ringo's. Unless you're basing your opinion on live recordings (and I
don't think you are) where Paul didn't have the chance to change shit
around.

As far as Ringo influencing lots of people, so did Sid Vicious and that
doesn't make him any better of a bass player does it?

Well I don't go around claiming to be a drummer do I? So why should I
have to play drums to say that he sucked... believe me I'm a bass player
and I know a shitty drummer when I hear one. Ringo couldn't keep time.
period.
