Everything is fine with me. It's all water off a duck's back. I am
simply accumulating information which makes microtonality more easy. In
MicroMadeEasy I am able to offer fringe benefits like free tapes which
I can only afford while the membership is small. I can't afford to make
the same offer to a group with a membership of 400+.

Um, I think the thing is that we may be reaching a point where it
isn't fine with *us*. It really isn't too swell to rip off the good
will of a community for some other community's sake. All I'm asking is
for a little respect for all the work that has gone on in this
particular forum.

We've been doing that since around July 2001. We've paid our dues.

You wouldn't have to worry about cost is you'd spend just a couple
hours and convert all those analog audio recordings to digital files
and upload them to a host. You wouldn't ever incur duplication or
mailing costs after that, and they would be open - if you so desired -
to the entire internet at little or no cost to you.

This is starting to look like the difference between Obama and
McCain's campaigns.

Peace,
Jon
