Duh. You think that's a point?
I never stated that Hendrix influenced the Velvets with the feedback and was responsible for their whole sound. That would be ridiculous. The Velvet Undergorund were already making music well before Hendrix was even known. I'm sure he had some bit of influence along the way, but The Velvet Undergound had their own thing. Furthermore, in my opinon, The Velvet Underground put out better records than Hendrix ever did.
I did write this though (it's at the top of the page):
It's just about being cognizant of and giving the respect that's due. I don't know why you have to bring in all this other baggage when it's merely a plain fact to anyone that knows anything about playing a guitar.
I've also written before (when other piss-ants started this same whiny, misinformed brouhaha before) that Hendrix is undeniably the best, and that, in all likelihood, there will never be a greater guitarist...ever.
