"Insofar as I was the choirmaster for the authorized Tridentine in Milwaukee for over 10 years, I am CERTAIN that I am not a part of "this crowd."
Notice, I use the word authorized."

A bishop does not have the power to "authorize" the use of a Mass which has already been granted to all the faithful by his superior. Another mistake made to make those who attend the "Traditional Latin Mass" feel somehow guilty about not attending the NO, and bishops wield this supposed power to suppress the Mass.

My bad. The Old Rite Mass at which I assisted for 10 years was the LICIT one, as opposed to the SSPX Mass offered about 10 miles distant.

I'm sure you understand the difference.
