[mb-style] Setting Classical Release Artists to Performers

[Jim DeLaHunt]

Frederic:

Welcome to the discussion!

Just to be clear, the words you are putting under my name are not my words
and do not reflect my opinion.  They are the words of anonymous editor
dhcp130132249195, writing in the wiki page ClassicalStyleGuideDiscussion,
section "Consider listing performer as artist"
<http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ClassicalStyleGuideDiscussion#head-9978b1d7d5d9f53b6340180e2bc1fd3b1cb9c040>,
on 2007-03-27 22:57:56. 

Please understand that you are debating here with dhcp130132249195, not Jim
DeLaHunt. :-)
