Ahem...should we tolerate this? There seems to be a very small "thread" appearing that I don't really approve of. I don't want this list to turn into a full-fledged marketplace; I don't have any problems with people selling *used* CDs, but I do have a problem when things start to get "commercial" (oof...what a bad word). Opinions? /Oivind Idso/

yes and no. NO - that's what web pages are for. catalogs and such. YES - i like it when people give catalog updates or "just in!" announcements. especially when it's for something rare or limited. with this genre of music, with its indie labels and international appeal, it's hard to track this stuff down. even when you live in D.C., San Fran., or NYC. not to mention peoria. my 2 cents yo. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> ''J''O''H''N'''''''R''I''C''K''M''A''N'''''''''''''''''''''''' jknee@gwis2.circ.gwu.edu
