Hello Vince & all...
First off, Vince, I will reply to you personally so that this thread
doesn't have to be carried onlist.
However, I will address the following...

Actually, the moderators received e-mails of concern, and
one of near-fury about your selling bootleg CDs shortly
after you joined TMML.
I'm sure there are a few people who don't agree that selling bootlegs is
wrong. I've heard more of the opposite from listmembers.

Members have done this before on TMML. But the offers have
always been for trade or even for free. No profit-making was involved and
I think many of us obtained recordings that were hard to find, etc. As
far as I know, the recordings that were listed were not availble for sale
anywhere (legally) either, so this did no harm to the band's or label's
profits. So if anyone is interested in doing something like this again
they are welcome to.
Jenny
