Someone posted a message in the last digest, saying about his radio station= mailing list and how he once joined the list to do all these noble things,= but the responce was hate mail. I accidentally deleted that mail, but this is in responce to that msg. That kind of thing, unfortunately is bound to happen when you have a= mass-marketed thing, whether it's free or not. it's out there for the= masses. When the Aphex Twin MP3 Archives were up, the owner constantly got a= shitload of mail from thousands of people around the world. However, the= majority of them did not include thanks for putting up the extensive= collection, or work involved in putting the site up, or even the fact that= the guy was offering all these files, and using up valuable bandwidth on= his ISP, to give these files to the world. The majority of them included= mails from users flaming/bitching about not being able to get on, and that= the site sucks, and that it shouldn't have a userlimit, etc.. People just don't appreciate when they are getting a free service brought= to them, to just appreciate it and not complain about it. :I Unfortunately, most of us I'm sure and even me, have been guilty of this at= some point :I -- Alex
