Knock it off

As of right now anyone who continues this little abuse festival will be switched to moderated status and/or kicked off the list. I don't care who started it or who said what to whom and when, it ends right now. I don't know if there's a problem with the list-abuse address or if people just haven't been using it, but this noise party is exactly the kind of thing it's meant for. If someone's sending abusive mail to the list or sending you abusive mail offlist, let me know and I'll boot them.

"Love him or hate him, nobody wants to hear me spam the list bitching about RMS and his FTP spam. Well instead, I'm just simply going to respond with a rapidshare link of the subject matter available for download by anyone of any class, creed, race or computer ability." YES!!! at least you can acknowledge that even IF RMS was a real problem that YOU and the people that bitch about him doesn't help at all....if anything it makes it worse! look - i'm not looking for a pissing match here - it just bothers me when i see people adding posts to this list for the soul purpose of complaining......complaining about someone offering music no less! you can offer up whatever you wish and i commend you for that. nothing wrong with having more than one available source for the goodies this list holds. "Now I did the same thing for Pomme Fritz, but only Ken and RMS seemed to be unhappy about it. I wonder why? The same person maybe? Hmmm. " the only thing i was unhappy about was your bitching about someone that is posting with open arms. same person??? dude...get a grip! "We did our own lil research on the KLF list and there we discovered precisely 18% of our posts were not just RMS, but RMS on the topic of his FTP." really though?? that's pretty obsessive - should rms be flattered?? 101!!! i'm stepping away from this whole issue as i need not be involved. i would just like to say that if you really have a problem with RMS that perhaps you should keep it to yourself because i don't think this stuff is beneficial to the community at all - and RMS's server IS beneficial - no matter which angle you look at it. Give the guy some credit for taking his time to help us all get the music we are looking for. If you don't wish to give him credit - then deal with it. There are plenty here that are thankful for what he has to offer and this whole "ego trip" thing i just don't get at all. it almost reaks of jealousy or something. but either way - we're all here for one reason and we all have a common bond. no need to muck it all up with shittalk. sorry to piss you off matt - but hopefully you're adult enough to understand where i'm coming from and perhaps you can real eyes that people like RMS do not deserve your disrespect. cheers peeps - orb is coming to the USA in no time let's keep focused ;)

Hi all With regards to Bryan's and Prose1812's posts, I have the Cydonia versions including the tracks bicycles and tricycles, jam on yer honey etc. My soulseek name is Gimbers (or is that Gimberz - one of the two anyway). The files are under the Cydonia Versions folder. My PC will be on most evenings this week (GMT time) and you are welcome to download what orb stuff you like from me. Whilst talking about Orb collections, I must thank those Orblist members that have kindly allowed me to download from them - RMS, Bryan, OrbscureDDJ and others. My collection would not now be what it is if it wasn't for you guys. And whilst we are on the subject, I personally have no probs with someone reminding me they have an FTP to download from and don't see why a mailing list with a common interest in the orb, should descend into personal abuse of someone who is trying to be helpful. Oh yeah and a quick question, the "bbroo grave robs the orb" tracks and the "2001 a space orbyssy - the teatime mixes", are those bootleg fan mixes or is there some special history behind them? Regards Gimberz

Matt S - Again - i had nothing to say about your offering - why would I? my comment was about the constant complaining and the fact that he does seem to offer the most on a regular basis. either way - your goal is to kill his ftp?? wow man - surely there are better things in your life to obsess over. personally i've never had problems with his server and surely have no problem with bit torrent which i love. so why do you wish to remove this source of music from those that have no problems receiving it? do you have a problem with having more than one way to get a file? can we not have ftp from RMS for those that can do it - and a yousendit or whatever from someone else for the peeps that have problems with ftp?

matt is the classic case of a bully, who in this case, is probably unable to exercise that 'affliction' anywhere else but online ...kids parties and pet stores excepted
