Hey, thanks for the elaboration, your thoughts come through much clearer now. Donating money to a university is a great idea, and i have to admit i checked minus website after i replied to you. it looks as if minus is filing a corporate social responsibility report, which is good. But the propaganda for digital downloading in there, well, that's quite practical for them, isn't it ? it's also true, but this kind of sense for joining the practical and trendy (actually nature preservation is necessary first , trendy second) gives them an edge. and from what i've noticed in the past Rich has shown to be a clever guy - marketing wise. hey, if this will make their music sound more natural as well, i'm all for it!
