i agree here 100%. i still haven't read any good reasons why we (the listeners and the artists) should NOT post free music downloads, but instead we should try and figure out how to turn a mailing list into a 5th grade debate club.... by the way, i've read complaints about mp3.com artists posting from mp3.com artists themselves...(?) some of you don't use it as your subject title, but you leave the links to yr site down below yr name. i think that's a superb way of doing it. let me ask... if we (the artists) leave a link below our name after every post, regardless of the subject matter, does it qualify with the rest of the list? if every artist had the freedom to post whenever they felt like it WITHOUT getting shit from the members of the list that find it annoying or offensive or whatever the dissatisfaction may be, and we (the artists) put in the subject line "dl my new mp3s" so that the annoyed may delete it without a second glance, would there be a problem then?? joseph joe

joe (and the others in the peanut gallery), You need to learn a bit about netiquette and mailing list conduct. This has nothing to do with 'mp3.com artists'. This has everything to do with people using a mailing list as their own 'personal' vehicle to fame and fortune. It applies just as much to the people who CONTINUALLY post 'for sale' and 'auction' announcements. Especially 'updates'. You can all go eat shit and die somewhere else. In case anyone doesn't understand what I mean by 'fame and fortune', I'm talking about using a public service to suit your own ends, whatever they may be. While there isn't anything inherently wrong with this idea at a low level, when the frequency of these 'type' of posts increase, you WILL experience people telling you "it's not cool". It's called BSP and the word 'Blatant' isn't in there as a joke. I'm really sick of trying get my point across about things that were never a problem in the past but now are, IMHO. All I can chock it up to is insensitivity/inexperience/immaturity on the part of the posters who are the worst offenders here. If I though it was just straight up brashness, I wouldn't be nearly as nice as I've been. I guess it's just time to start dumping people into the killfile, which is something I've avoided doing in all the years I've been on this list. My problem: solved. Your problem: not solved. Have a nice day boys and girls, brock. ------------------------- joseph fitzpatrick wrote:
