First off Grant, sorry that I disagreed with you chewing out Shou a few days
ago. He IS a totally cool dealer though, but as Paul said take 10 CDRs of
SFZ and multiply by Shou's $35 price or George's $65 (!) price and you have
a crap load of cash. Anyways, I totally agree with what you said about the
TML. Whenever I post something there, it feels like a dull chore. If you
haven't noticed, I really rarely post to the TML. Pretty much the only
reason I stay on is for the sales. Oh well, we got SFZ FIRST and we did it
totally legit. I remember how you said one of the things you liked about the
TML was that bt kicks off people who violate the rules. So much for that
huh? We really need to keep the word out about SFZ being free though to keep
all those assholes from making a killing.
