Valerie:

I have been "lurking" around this newsgroup for years and your web site was
always the most precise and current source of information for me. If you ran
into some kind of war with the copyright holders, I can understand that,
although it is most regretful that someone would pursue a true fan for
publishing a few Real Audio clips. Apparently the site brought in way more
new fans bying CDs than those who stopped at listening to the clip. But
common sense is unknown to lawyers.

If this was because some idiot made a derogatory comment about it, I urge
you to reconsider. Usenet is full of morons. Even Outlook Express reader
allows you to set up a rule trashing a certain person's messages. Block them
all and keep up the good work.

If you are not interested in the feedback, just put the site back, state
that it not updated from /whatever/ and keep it online. I am sure many of
readers will appreciate that.

Your site was respected and frequented by many of us. Please resurrect it.

Thx/D

(the return address is an junk tank at Hotmail, but I'll be checking it and
the newsgroup for replies)

Yeah Derek those words will come back to haunt you FOR A VERY LONG TIME
if I have any say in it :-)

Seriously it is sad that Val's site has gone. All we can do is hope she
bows to demand and brings it back online again SOON. As Derek said an
excellent post D A.
