Re: Should we ban thoughtless leechers?
Torrenting=not good.
-It enables and encourages the "instant gratification" mentality. -It does not foster a sense of community that is present amongst "real" traders. -It demotes the hobby of taping. People realize they can sit in their basement and push a few buttons thus getting them practically any show they want,without giving the slightest bit of anything back to the "community".

Re: Should we ban thoughtless leechers?
As a thoughtless seeder, I have determined that I have little to say and that the opinions here are of low or no value.

Re: Should we ban thoughtless leechers?
I have never been formally offered anything, my good man. I was sent a few questions in a PM.....
Perhaps you are referring to the jazz n heritage radio show but I did not take that question about that show as an offer....I took that as more music talk ala the Red Sticker Ramblers, which is where I chimed in.....oh well If you cannot already tell I confuse easily so please be merciful with my shortcomings (HA! I am ENTITLED to mercy.....) Freezer if you play harp as suggested perhaps you might check out Joe Filisko who was harp of the year in 92(?) and is a friend and former teacher.

Instant gratification does not always equate to laziness. The internet has given all of us the ability to get some things quickly, be it shows, information, airline tickets, porn, or casual encounters with strangers Yes, some will always exploit that. But stating that as a whole bit torrent is not good because of those few. I just don't understand. I see plenty of ratios on bt sites that show there are still people that give very generously, and kind enough to explain it to newbies in a way that is not self-righteous or attacking them. I also can't grasp how someone can say that this medium for trading/exchanging is bad. I used to go through a boatload of bubble mailers, postage, and in essence a lot of resources (postal workers salaries, gas, vehicles, CDR's, sometimes planes I imagine) just to get a nice set of SHN's to someone on the east coast or out of the country. Now, I can serve them and access them in a much more eco friendly way IMO. Quote:

I think it actually has brought the hobby of taping to a whole new level. From access to information about equipment to hints/tricks for getting the best out of whatever gear you have. We have a whole sub-forum here dedicated to the hobby of taping. I have seen quite a few people post from their initial questions about equipment, taping, seeding all the way through purchasing the equipment and then eventually posting their first show and watching them get better, posting more shows, and love their new hobby.
