Thanks Jason. My server seems to have dropped the original post.

starla.org is two things:

1) A public service directory to quality (IMO) Smashing Pumpkins
resources on the Internet.

In this regard, I think I am beginning to do a fine job. Almost any
information you cold want is a click away from starla.org. News and tour
dates are right on the front page. The sites that are listed are
generally accurate, updated, and appealing.

2) A web server open to knowledgable and skilled individuals who maintain
a focused Smashing Pumpkins web site that is the best of its' kind. (Also
IMO)

In this regard, I belive I have failed to this point. The server's I
have obtained often crash, and I have been slow to implement advanced
features like CGI. I will find ways to do better in the future.


Many people complain because I won't host their site or add a link. The
starla.org front page gets about 10,000 hits each day. If I won't add a
link to your site, it's because I wouldn't put my name on your site or
stand behind it. I don't feel that it is good enough to recommend to
10,000 people on a daily basis. I will only link to or host sites that
provide accurate, thorough, and well-organized and presented information
of a factual (not personal) nature. That doesn't mean, I have shut you
out, it means I want you to work to improve and refine your site until it
is the best!

Sites like the AMSP profiles page and the I Met The Band page provide
interesting information, but they deal with personal opinion or
experience, not facts, and thus I do not believe they belong. For that
reason, I will be removing All the GLARE shortly, because it is a catalog
of interpretations, not related to fact.

Eric Agnew, Dave Asselin, and Nikki Christoff have all been told that
their sites will always have a home on starla.org, should they need it.
Josh, that goes for you too, if I haven't said so yet. Their sites
define what I am looking for; low-media, high-content.

It wouldn't be a terrible thing to say, if you'd just put your money where
your mouth is and stop visiting starla.org and buying MS products.

If you won't do that, then you should shut up.

Um, just to point out here, Starla.org is not jamming SP content down
your throat, like a certain major software company. It is merely there
for you to take from. If you would like to not get your info from
there, go ahead. You can get all you would ever need without going to
starla.org. But what's the point?

I think people just like to complain about big monopolies because
they're too lazy to actually do anything about it.

black Indiana Jones hat and Phoenix Suns jacket. the gang referred to him as
'J.P.'. they cut his finger nails and forced him to eat pumpkin pie, from

You're swearing on one of *Phil Olivers* posts! I mean, maybe about 5% of his
posts are actually for real, the rest are witty comebackers and trolls. Not to
imply that Phil is a morn...he's actually quite intelligent, but he just likes
to have fun with his UseNet.

Competition's a little too tough for you, eh, Apple? Awww. Maybe if you cry
enough to the feds, they'll go destroy that big bad ol' Microsoft and leave
you to pick up the pieces. That'd do a lot for your bottom line, wouldn't it?

OK, point me in the direction of sites better than what starla.org
offers...

Who provided more high-quality live and rare audio files than the
Archive (which is about to fully online again)? If you say the Realm,
I'll die laughing. At their peak, they had only 250 files, crap,
duplicated into different formats to make it appear as though they had
more. Please...

Who has a more comprehensive songlist with *accurate* lyrics and info
than Burlap? Name a site and I guarantee they stole every bit of info
from Burlap in the first place, because Simon did it first and
best...and still does!

Who has more bass tabs than Sad Machines? Does anyone present them in
as coherant and consistant a format? Dave tabbed out all of these
himself!

Who has more guitar tabs organized as nicely as Pumpkin Soup? Again,
does anyone present them in as coherant and consistant a format? Adam is
upgrading tabs every day. You'll only find the most accurate tabs
avaialable here.

C'mon, the best is the best, let's not beat around the bush. I won't
put a site on starla.org unless it is the *best* site of it's kind. I'm
not going to waste server space on second-rate sites, people.

As for PPRN, it gets updated whenever Onica emails me and says, 'hey,
gues what...' When it has current info, it is the truth, because Onica
speaks the word of truth, plain and simple.

New sites are on their way, original sites! Dealing with info you've
never seen before. When they arrive, they will be imitated far and wide,
and yet no one will be able to match them. If someone does, I'll take my
site down, there's no point in having sub-par sites online, it only
creates confusion.

Instead of trying to get all of the tabs on Sad Machines for your own
site, I have a better solution...put a *link* to Sad Machines on your
site. Sad Machines exists as a resource where people can get bass tabs,
we don't need two sites. That wastes bandwidth and server space and
confuses people.

Can't you come up with *one* original thought for your own web site?
One thing that hasn't been done before? If you can't, then you shouldn't
be making a web site, you should be visiting the ones that exist.
However, there are areas that are as yet untouched. Brainstorm, maybe
you'll think of something. If you do, and it's completely original,
accurate, and appealing I'll link to it from starla.org and 10,000 people
each day will see the link.

actually im building a songography that is way more comprehensive than
burlap. so it will be better than burlap. and im building other stuff also,
that starla.org doesnt have, im not saying that my new site will have as
much info as starla.org, it wont, because i only have 12-18megs of server
space available to me. well, i already stated about the original ideas i had
in an earlier post. the pumpkin crossword puzzle i had? i didnt see that
anywhere else. the poster gallery? i didnt see that anywhere else.

look, i asked u for the right to use that poster. i didnt say burlap was all
bad, i should have been more specific. ok, for the record, i just think
burlap has a lot of shortcomings, and i think that starla.org aint all its

ok good point. ok, the song list for my songography came from 5 main
sources...
-the bmi index
-aeroplanes booklet
-your site
- and about 5 other sites
- this newsgroup
i will give u credit on my site, dont worry. and i made a point of going to
other sources for information, and not just stealing from burlap.

the lyrics come from dozens of sites, albums, and the aeroplanes booklet, i
still have the lyrics page from the moonkids site.

now, all other information i have obtained elsewhere.

I think that Burlap is the most important page in Starla.org if it wasnt
for Burlap, where would we find the lyrics to "my dahlia" or any of the
other '89 demos and rareities? I'm very sure that it didn't take Simon
5min to find the lyrics to *every* known sp song, he had to work very
hard, and for what? So that every pumpkin fan would now what sp songs
are out there and where to find it. I for one appreciate Simon's work.
Every time I go to Burlap i learn a little bit more about sp. so, keep
up the good work Simon!

point 1- starla states that it has the best sp sites on the web
point 2- by stating that it has the best sites on the web, starla.org claims
it is above other sp sites.
point 3- since starla.org claims it is above other sp sites, one must assume
that starla.org claims to have a monopoly over the best smashing pumpkins
content, which is insinuating that starla.org controls the best sp content
on the web.

is all of this true simon?

i didnt say control over other sites did i? no i didnt, i said that
starla.org claims to have a monopoly over the best sp content on the web,
there is a difference. since the internet, is the form of medium which
starla.org is delivered on, and since starla.org claims to have the best
smashing pumpkins content in that form of medium, one must assume that
starla.org is insinuating that it controls the best sp content on the
internet.

It IS the best place for anyone to find info on sp, and it's just a
click away.

this should be the new message on the homepage..."Welcome to Starla.org,
where all you ever wanted to know about The Smashing Pumpkins is just
one click away!"

from the first message "...and has created somewhat of a monopoly in regards
to sp sites." how does that mean starla has control over other sp sites? it
only means that when talking about sp sites, starla.org has a monopoly.

for fuck sakes, i didnt say starla.org controls other sites, i said that it
insinuates to have exclusive control of the best sp sites.

Are you stupit? That doesn't make any sense. Starla.org IS the best
place to look for pumpkin info. Read the message in the homepage idiot!


"The new starla.org incorporates the latest news and info into the front

page and adds links to other celestial sites and resources." do you
undersatnd "other celestial sites and resources"? They are not saying
the member sites are the best. Thay are saying that all the sites in the
front page are the best of it's kind. For example theres..
songlist/lyrics - Burlap.. News/info - pprn, nikki's news stand.. Tour -
The Smashing Pumpkins MCIS Tour, Smashing Pumpkins Tour History, both
which are non-members sites that starla.org has no "control" of,
therefor the is NO monopoly. BTW, the songonoly, whatever shit your
doing is already done. It can be found anytime at Starla.org. Now get
lost, you pervert, garth brooks, fuckhead.

And what, pray tell, is the problem with simply adding a link for "bass
tabs at this site" on your page?

Quick example: Say you spend a couple of hours creating an awesome
Pumpkins image for your page. You then proudly upload this image to your
page, and place an ad here on the newsgroup to let everyone know about
your page and how proud you are of your work. The next morning, you wake
up, turn on your computer and come to the newsgroup. 50 other posts are
advertising "Cool New Pumpkins Site!", and so you click on a couple of
links. Every site that comes up starts with your exact same image, and
includes the same information in the same format as yours.

Now, with that scenario in mind, tell me who the assholes are?

Take a minute to notice that at least half of the sites linked to at the
starla.org main-page aren't even hosted on the starla.org server. So, in
which way is starla.org "stating that starla.org is superior to all other
sp sites"? It's bloody linked to other pages *outside* of the domain...

Heck, I could take 20 minutes to put together a link page, slap the label
of "best pages out there" on it, and then would I be "cocky" as well? If
www.geocities.com advertises an excellent page on their server, are they
calling all other pages invalid wastes of time? No.

If starla.org is so important to you, maybe you should take the time to
put together an original page that has enough original content and based
on your own ideas, and get yourself a spot on the server. Until you try,
I urge you to follow a little rule that I've followed (well, tried to, at
least) throughout my life, as taught to me at a young age by my Mother:
If you can't say anything nice, then get the fuck out of the kitchen.

And tell me Moonkids did! Let's make this a fun public exercise. For
the record, Moonkids promised to have a test site online Monday. When it
goes up, we'll all evaluate it, eh?

Will it...

...consist of completely original content, not presented on any other
site?
...consist of completely accurate and confirmed content?
...be presented in a logical and coherant manner?
...be asthetically appealing?

I have serious doubts that it will meet even one of the above criteria,
but we'll *all* see on Monday.

I'll try not to hold the fact that he called my closest friends
'assholes' and 'motherfuckers'.

As a side note, Simon Coyle is a superb gymnast! You should see him in

see the thing about this person is that they are jealous that their site can't
be in the spotlight. It's really quite sad because when in reality.. in 5, 10
years from now.. all of our sites..* will * bite the dust. I mean god, who
cares.. a site is made because you want to tribute the band in some way.. it's
not to overpower another site.. like this guy seems to think starla is doing.
You should make a site because you want to bring something to the online
world.. and not because you want to make other sites look bad.. which starla is
in no way doing. Starla is a resource for pumpkins fans, to look up online
sources like tabs, online files, etc etc etc. If you want to make a site like
that.. good go for it.. but there is NO reason to act bitter, just because your
site can't bring what starla has given us.

So, if your ideas are so great, why don't you make your site and kick
starla.org's ass in traffic? People go there because it rules, not because
someone's making them. And, for shit's sake, nobody's making any money off of
this, so we're not really even competing. You get starla.org for free, to
use, not to use, whatever. What's the damn problem?

Plus, I'm an econ major, so I can tell you this: economically, there's nothing
wrong with a naturally arising, non-coercive (i.e. not government enforced)
monopoly. Such a monopoly can only maintain its market position with a
near-heroic commitment to keeping costs low and catering to the needs of the
marketplace. In both Microsoft and starla.org's situations, such is the
case -- non-coercive, (and thus) cheap, and satisfying to the customer.

ok...
Having a web page on Starla.Org is the best advertisement for an SP site you
can get. People will visit your site and if you are on Starla.Org it means
your page is good. If Starla.Org was buying peoples web page and JP was worth
36.6 billion and the only SP sites you could visit were on Starla.Org, yes it
would be a damn monopoly.

Why don't you two exchange phone numbers or something. Or why don't you

Sure you will. Simon has only been collecting and researching that info for
YEARS. That man has put more creativity and work into that site than Einstein
put into the theory of realitivity. He's talked to people, listened to songs,
researched the facts, followed leads and took criticisms to heart and tracked
down even the minutest of detail if it meant improving his site. He's got stuff
you can't even imagine. So if you think you can waltz right in and take over
the mountain that Simon's already claimed I got a little piece of advise for you
kid: It's a hell of a long way to the top.

name one site NOT listed on starla.org that competes. honestly. that
list of sites are the best. the site says so. it's right. you have a
complete history of all known live performances, a complete songlist
with all the unattainables, a picture archive, new date rumours, the
complete discography, complete bass *And* guitar archives, hundreds of
articles about the band, and soon enough - 800 or so near-cd quality
sound files and a thorough listing, scan, and review of every single
sp boot cd *ever* released.

what's missing, here? ...mO0nKidZ' zAnY sP sIt3?

dont' be so vindictive. those sites deserve to be mentioned as the

invested into them. it's real easy to sit there and bitch about how it
"should" be. you'll get no congratulations for that.

What school did you go to and what kind of fucked up logic are you
using?

Look, why can't you get past this "exclusive control" bit? It doesn't
exist.

Let me give you an example. There is a diner up the street from me
called Mul's. Right on the same sign as their name is the blurb "Best
Coffee In Town!". Muls has been in business for almost 40 years.

Less than a block away heading north is a Dunkin' Donuts. It's been
there about 5 years. a little more than 2 blocks away is a brand new
coffee shop called "Ward 6".

Mul's has been claiming for 40 years that they have the best coffee
in town, and at least 2 people disagreed with them. But those people
didn't whine to the owner of Mul's... they opened their own goddamn
coffee shop. It's not like Mul's could stop them...

For the record, I get my morning coffee at Dunkin' Donuts. Muls does
make a mean omlette, but their coffee sucks.

You're really pissing me off, asshole. If it wasn't for burlap, most
people never would have heard of a lot of songs! If you were to make a
better songlist, as you've been claiming, most of it would probably be
ripped off of Burlap!!! PPRN has the news when there is news! There is
nothing wrong with it! What the hell is going on right now to justify
Onica constantly updating that site?! Next to nothing is happening!

Write your own freaking tabs or link to sadmachines main page. No law
against that. If you can't write your own tabs, then what can you do for
the world of tab that hasn't been done before?
Frankly, most of the tab sites I have seen stop with Chris Carman and
Brian McCall.

Personally, I enjoyed the Garth Brooks pictures much more than any naked
women.

And that caused 7 new keyboards to go through my house in a hurry.

What a bloody genius this Moonkids is. But you're right. I used to think
it was cool to write "Alanis Morissette" all over my school binders, "back
