Freezer, you are confusing my statements regarding the way we police lineage on a silver boot vs. low-gen sources with lossy audio.

They are two different criteria. We will continue to treat them the same as we always have:

1) a silver boot is just that - the first source (source zero, as you seem to enjoy) in the lineage because we cannot know what came before the bootlegger got it. We allow them so collectors can get them for free.

2) audio may not have been run through lossy digital data compression, regardless of lineage.

as with anything, exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis - kind of like how we might delete and ban someone for trolling a technobabble thread, but in your case, we'll explain the same shit to you over and over.. again.


You're exceptional.
