1. Okay, flameboys, calm down.
2. How about a CDR of a forthcoming proper release? I received something
as a promo just before the end of the year and want to flaunt it by
including it on my own list.
3. What is real, anyway? If a CDR plays in the woods, did the original
artist make the sounds the trees hear? Where are the damned philosophers
and lawyers when you need them? The list manager should staff them 24-7,
IMNSHO.
