    list -- before i become the black sheep, i think a little word of
    self-defense is in order....

    i FULLY agree with the point dirk made and stand by it *as much as
    possible*. to give you an idea of where i'm coming from, i'm a 20-year
    old student who currently6 lives and works in new york city to stockpile
    some money to put towards my $25 000 per annum tuition bill. as is, i put
    almost all of my disposable income into music (bear in mind that i DO live
    in new york, and just being here is expensive....) and have a massive
    collection of records and cds. music is my passion. the last thing i
    want to see is progressive, envelope-pushing independent labels go belly
    up.

    i put forth the inquiry because this music is what keeps me sane, and i
    just simply don't have the income at the moment to be everything i want to
    hear. every weekend i come home with a record bag full of newq
    goodies....the way i see it the occasional free/trade doesn't seriously
    affect my personal contribution to independent music, and on the converse
    it does worlds for my musical spirit.

    which, i hardly need to remind you, is the purpose these records are on
    the shelf in the first place.

    i hope this doesn't cause *another* off-subject dialectic on the music
    biz......
