(idm) Ripoff alert rescinded

I realize now that I ripped myself off, and shouldn't have flown off the
handle before I knew what was going on.  I hadn't seen any mention here
that the first release of "Come to Daddy" was on two separate CDs.  I know
that's often the case, but I hadn't seen it discussed on the list for this
particular release.  If it was discussed and I missed it, OK, I'll admit
it, every once in a while I'll delete a whole digest without reading it
because it starts to taste like Spam after a while.

The first "Come to Daddy" I saw was the 8-song UK release, which I bought,
only to see the domestic release occur (completely by surprise, I didn't
see any US release dates mentioned here in advance, either) less than a
week later.  This Orange CD didn't pop up on my radar until yesterday, and
since I hadn't heard of it, I figured it was new.  My mistake, of course,
although based on the information presented on the list, I don't think
there was any way to know.  Yeah, who cares? 

Maybe this can serve as a warning to anyone else in the US who suddenly
sees this single and doesn't know what it is.  As angry as I was over what
I saw to be a giant international conspiracy with RDJ grinning in the
center of it all, I was trying to be funny by asking him to apologize. 

Love and free muesli, y'all.
