So you're just assuming those spam bots aren't music collectors who want to discuss Top 40 songs on CD, eh?

Maybe they've got a secret, secret. Maybe they have parts made in Japan. Maybe they've got a secret they've been hiding under their skin. Maybe their hearts are human, their blood is boiling. MAYBE THEIR BRAIN IS IBM!

By any chance were any of their user names "Kilroy?" Asking for a friend. Domo arigato.

Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto? :)

Hey y'all:

I'm Autumn and just joined the forum after viewing it
for a couple of years. I really like that this board
has devoted threads regarding song and artist instead
of just open ended questions like "What's your
favorite song today?" which makes any valuable factual
information hard to reference in a search.

Many of today's Lp only buyers only focus on
album versions of songs. Many weren't around when
the songs were current. Furthermore, I can't believe
the regression back to records as a preferred format.
That ship already sailed for me. Chat forums are a
dying breed where videos have not quite filled the
gap.

I'm into soul and found the 1989-92 period very
difficult when collecting. Styles changed quickly
as often later singles cut from a year old album
would get a remix. As the 90's progressed, cd singles
especially weren't readily available like 45's. The
'hit version' would get lost in the shuffle or worse
yet replaced on the second pressing of the album.

Let me say welcome. I like to think of this board as old school. You can actually find out a lot about what isn't on cd vs what is (no offense to Pat's incredible database, which is worth the money all by itself). I'm glad for all my years reading the threads on this board that no one asks what your favorite song is. I can say that many of the posters here have invaluable resources and collections and often post their knowledge or offer edit points for songs where they can.

If we can answer any questions, do not hesitate to ask. Again welcome.

I'm not sure if this is what everyone else does, but I use the quote button in the upper corner and then delete the part of the quote I don't want to appear.
