I personally, think this is a bunch of garbage.
I would tell Mr. "farmer":
"I don't give a rats a$$ about hearing" that you don't
want to hear my favorite tune. That tune was put on
MY site for MY pleasure and the pleasure of others
who DO like it.
If you don't like MY music, go do the "research" of your
"family forest" on another site that doesn't lead "to lots
of slow loading cutesy crap", neither does it contain the
valuable research that is found on MY page, that would
probably be valuable to your research, Mr. Farmer.
------------------------
I can't believe anyone would believe he was "right".
Who is HE to tell someone else how to build THEIR site and display the
research that THEY went to the trouble to do, and then, went to the trouble
to put it where HE could have access to it.
