Jeez.  I guess it's sort of fun having an insider on the list with us,
but this kind of scolding is a little much.  Powderworks is not
affiliated with the band in any way, and frankly, what we talk about is
really none of their business, certainly not in any proprietary sense.
If anybody has a right to play list-nanny it's Tim.  Maurice has only
his conscience to answer to, as far as I'm concerned.  I'm glad he's
decided to bow to what appear to be the band's wishes, but this business
of "taking it up with the band" really does little to enhance the kind
of free discussion a forum like this is all about.

Careful, folks, what you get up to around here:  Justin might tell THE
BAND.
 
> I expect a reply ASAP with good news.

Am I misreading this?  This sounds almost threatening.  You *expect* to
hear, ASAP, that your demands have been met?  Sounds like the laminate
fumes may have gone to someone's head.

Congratulations on your decision, Maurice.  I'm sorry it was accompanied
by this kind of public hand-slap.

cheers,
