Read This FirstPlease Read These Discussion Terms Before Contacting Me!First things first... I most certainly do not own the recordings referenced here, and I'm sure you don't own any, either. All we're doing is discussing these recordings neither of us owns, right? And we don't discuss in an open forum. We discuss one-on-one. And I only discuss CDs and DVDs (i.e. not tapes). As you may or may not discern from viewing my discussion list, I have heard a fair amount of stuff. If you are considering initiating a discussion with me, this fact may affect you. Y'see, time does not permit me to engage in as many discussions as I might like. You might be surprised at the number of e-mails I get on the subject. I wish I could answer each and every one; I do try. However, some emails are more likely to receive a reply than others. If you would like to increase your chances of hearing back from me (no guarantees here, folks) the following suggested guidelines might be helpful. It's not intended to put anyone off; on the contrary, it's here to encourage good, mutually beneficial discussion of some really groovy music.
Trading? Who said anything about trading? Not me, that's for sure. OK? I knew an individual once, a long time ago, who knew someone else who DID trade. That individual had a list of standard 'rules,' if you will. You know what? That might be an interesting discussion topic. While I will never admit that I am a trader (I'm not, really...trust me), I am in favor of the practice (from a theoretical perspective only, you understand). If you're a trader, well, I'd enjoy discussing about how you trade (not that I do; perish that thought). I Get Tired of Responding to This One... Also...if I *did* trade, I would NOT trade for blanks. Please DO NOT bother asking. I WILL NOT reply. And finally...Bootleg Sales = BAD. Anybody reckless enough to sell unreleased recordings is asking for lawsuits from music publishers and harrassment from those busybodies at the RIAA. From a moral standpoint, they are profiting financially from an artist's work (someting traders are NOT guilty of). For myself, I am philosophically opposed to bootleg sales, and will not engage in a discussion with anyone selling or attempting to buy. You would be surprised how many clowns try anyway. |
