i was seriously razzing him because of him mentioning personal favours for the band.
i'm selling something on eBay. there are cr*ploads of bootlegs around, so i wanted to put something in that gave the item some "provenance". if that makes me a bad person, then so be it. i'll live.
i threw in the news bit cos it would be cool to read his opinion on what others say.
firstly, as already mentioned - why should anyone care what i think? secondly, you accuse me of being "holier than thou" and then complain that i don't comment on EVERYTHING! am i the only one that can see the inherent contradiction between these two points?
this was given to him by the band for goodness sake. i'd rather him keep it and i'd donate him some funds for the info he provides. hell i'd paypal the money to him tonight! i'd also rather him keep it than go to someone that might not be a big a fan as he was with a large wad of money.
i'm trying to imagine the responses i would have had to a "hey, i need some money, so give it to me now please!" message.
things shouldn't always be about the money.
i've been helping people on this list (and many others) find records/cd for ten years. if it was about the money, i could have ripped them all off. i didn't, as it was NEVER about the money. it's always been about helping people like me out - and more often than not, they helped me out if i needed a favour at a later date. however, my wife is expecting our first child, and THEY are my first priority. i have an item sitting untouched on my shelves that i can sell, and use the money for the imminent arrival. if people think that i have my priorities wrong, fair enough. some things are more important. the end. i hope. cheers, --- Smiley ---------------------------------------- My Inbox is protected by SPAMfighter 803 spam mails have been blocked so far.
