I think it is more interesting to learn that some crying the loudest right now, use these rare bootlegs as leverage for trades and other items for personal gain - yeah believe it! Some would be really interested to know how some of you got the material in the first place, I bet even MK would be interested to know too - so you too may get a letter! So do us a favour and get off your soapbox! OK, since i was the only person to comment on the bootleg situation, i'm guessing this diatribe was aimed at me. While i did help on all the digest projects, i've not been a fan of just hosting all this stuff online for anyone to download. And i've personally given copies of the digest projects to various band members, so they knew what was going on. Obviously they could not give their blessing on material that is still owned by the various record labels, but i thought it was the right thing to do, so it was know were not trying to profit on the stuff, etc. And for the record, i've never used any material, bootleg or otherwise as leverage for trading. Everything i have accumulated over the years has been via the various fans on this digest, so i have no problem continuing to trade this stuff. And if someone doesnt have something i'm interested in, i'm more than happy to copy things for them. All i've ever asked is that they provide the blank media. Obviously i've somehow offended Mikey, so maybe he can email me personally to explain it...or not. Win
