Dear Mr. B.Canty and J.Lally,

We are aware of your commitment to supporting your children and applaud your paternal instincts. However, we must insist that you neglect your respective families from now on and reconvene with your band-mates in Fugazi.

We understand that as a responsible parent you feel that you are an integral part of your children's development but also we've really thought about it and ultimately, have decided that your priorities should instead lie with providing us with a new album and some touring.

After all, we too are your children and frankly - we were here first.
