Dear Michael, Jaimie and Bill, 

Holy smoke. It never occurred to me for a single second that I might 
be doing something inappropriate by trying to sell my compilations. 
Thanks for the heads up. I meant no harm, and I appreciate the 
smileys that accompanied your posts <insert smiley>. I new that I was 
admitting to being a long-time (though long ago now) free file 
grabber, but I didn't consider it any further than that. Crikey. 

On the other hand, curiously enough I suppose, the response to my 
post has been quite good. I should sell the set today, in fact.

I respectfully acknowledge all points of view on this subject, 
especially now that I've more fully considered them. I hope the fact 
that I never for a second even considered it wrong in the first place 
doesn't paint me with too broad a brush as a person who would deny 
artists their due. I'm sure none of the independent artists who I 
personally support would ever accuse me of being "that guy".

Okay, NOW I'm awake. :-) This is a conundrum that I will continue to 
turn over in my mind today and in the future. And Michael, straight 
up: "I'm sorry" for breaking the rules. Where is my head? I should 
have offered these discs only to friends in my address book (and "In 
Real Life".

Mea Culpa (with some restrictions and pending further 
consideration).
