The Martyn Bennett post was due to a question about a Blacksmoke track.
This thread has come up before and someone on the list, don’t remember
slipped the track to the blacksmoke server and renamed it. The track was from Martyn
Bennett and not blacksmoke. That was the meaning of that post. If I remember
the track was called “at the gates” but eh actual song is called “liberation”
Second, I have not held my server of this list. It is free to use for everyone
that can login hence the blanket KLF login. I do not go and actively seek to
purchase KLF stuff. I host the server as a help and a repository for the list.
IF someone gets something rare and wants to share it, my server is there for
that. It just so happens that I get to keep a copy of it. I don’t own a
turntable so vinyl is useless to me as it is to some of the members of the
list. I just offer my services, take them or leave them. My bad for the
asking post to Olav, I did not have his newest email and used the list. Sorry
for that. I am still here and not going home. I did not use my server as
leverage on this list. I merely made a point. I offer it up for free. If people
place files on it. That is great, if not, fine also.. I am sorry for pissing
off a few people. The mix has some KLF stuff in it. That is why I offered it. I
will discuss this no more on the open list. The server is up and running so
enjoy.

No offence here, RM, but think about it
for a moment. It's not if people like you or not, it's more that despite
this being a KLF list, I (at least) can't recall one time in recent months
where you contributed anything worthwhile discussion wise.
Looking at your posts still available on
my email server you posted a few "me too" requests where someone has
offered a track (so you can add it to your server), offered that your server
has a majority of KLF tracks, several posts asking or commenting on how to
convert audio formats to other, several posts re Martyn Bennett (relevance
being lost on me), asking for help because you can't access your website (?),
alerted us that you've uploaded pics of your family to your site, and offered
up a new mix you did. Twenty-some posts and one or two of interest
to the group at large. This is about average for any time period we could
look at.
Everyone appreciates your server being
available, and we all tolerate the occasional question or off topic post
because, after all, we're all friends here in a sense.
I do, however, dislike you dangling your
ftp server in front of us when someone complains but your lack of relevant
posts. You come off, frankly, like a kid telling us he'll take his ball
and go home. Yes, we have all used it at some point, yes we all
appreciate it, but don't threaten us with it just because someone tells you
(again) to at least put an [OT] at the start of your posts. Your server
doesn't give you license to, as someone says, treat the list as your personal
help desk.
