"As if suddenly, we were buddies." Is there any point to responses like this? It's really perplexing to me that in a style of music like this that doesn't get a lot of exposure and is largely driven by word-of-mouth, that obstacles would be placed in the way of info and artists that people are curious about. Is there a legitimate concern that hype or profits might be piggybacked that would call for counterintelligent tactics? Cryptic tack-ons implying additional witheld info ain't no way to treat your mates, either. I guess people really go for those Rephlex head-games. eric
