They collaborate. Jon and Richie both write and produce, so if you're going to credit them, you have to take the good with the bad. They've created some great stuff together and some stuff that is not so good.

Becky, you know very well that my least fav song is TAALS which is written by both. So Richie has very well something to do with my least fav song that is the cheesiest beside Stay. Even though it's a pity that I missed Richie's soundcheck in Nürnberg in 1998 where he sung TAALS. I would have found it interesting to hear if it is really the song I don't like or just how Jon sings it. He has sometimes a suffering in his voice that I don't like (esp.in Stay).
That the people say BJ are cheesy has more to do with the choice of singles through the record company that are choosen very often against the wish of the band.
