Sure, but just like Jon doesn't sing (or write) like he did in '93 anymore, it's not like Richie still wrote like he did back then either and was just held back by Jon post 2k.

Ok. But I was referring to the point of view that was launched earlier, where some were implying that Richie's contributions in the past were not great things, because at present everything still sounds the same after Richie's departure. That's why I put that example, Richie had some great ideas that made the difference.
