As someone who's had "my" discography (<URL:http://www.evo.org/eyesore.html>) copied extensively; linked to from all over the placed; published on cd-rom by other people and so on, I find this possessiveness displayed by some people here a bit silly. I did the discography to provide a service to the community, not to become "famous", not to make people "grateful", not to make money. If people find a way to make use of what I've done in creative ways I haven't foreseen -- great! The point (for me, at least) is to have the (hopefully useful) information accessible for the people who might need it. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@ifi.uio.no * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
