  10. Agreed onx. I suggest these sort of requests get ignored. A Darker Shade of Blue have a ban on Anonymous, perhaps we should. Also there's a heck of a lot more taking than giving these days. How about a few more contributions folks? Thanks for speaking up onx.

  11. Some comments and response to the music would be appreciated also. Probably also worth trying out a ban on anonymous postings.

  12. Andy & Tantris, it's certainly worth considering to ban anonymous requests etc.
    At least a name to refer to would be appreciated. I will check it out and come back to you soon.
    And yes contributions would be welcome as well.
