I dont mean to crowd the AJ list with pointless "me-too" messages,
but...

Fans need to realize that it is VERY difficult for musicians to make a
living making music, and that most independent labels are trying to help
the situation by any means necessary. This includes the occasional post
to fan lists like this one.

Matt, I wonder what you're doing to help support the music you love?

I trust that intelligent people can make up their own minds on what
emails they want to avoid, and what music they're willing to buy. Let's
not make the uphill battle against Michael Bolton, Kenny G, etc any more
difficult by booting independent labels off the Acid Jazz list.
