first off let me say that I am sorry if I have offended anyone in any language in the last couple days, it was not on purpose and I ask for your forgiveness, this post is however another story though.
la machine permettez-moi de dire que je suis désolé si j'ai offensé quelqu'un dans n'importe quelle langue dans les deux derniers jours, il n'a pas été à dessein et je demande votre pardon, ce poste est toutefois une autre histoire si.
Zunächst einmal möchte ich sagen, dass ich mir leid, wenn ich jemand beleidigt haben in jeder beliebigen Sprache in den letzten paar Tagen, es war nicht mit Absicht und ich bitte Sie um Vergebung, dieser Post ist jedoch eine andere Geschichte sein
मुझे पहली बार बंद का कहना है कि मुझे खेद है यदि मैं ने किसी को आहत में किसी भी भाषा में पिछले कुछ दिनों में यह नहीं था पर पूछने के लिए अपने उद्देश्य और मैं क्षमा , इस पोस्ट है लेकिन एक और कहानी है
首先让我说我很抱歉,如果我有得罪任何人在任何语言在过去数天,这是不是对的目的和我想请问您的宽恕,这个 职位,但另一个故事,虽然。
أولا اسمحوا لي ان أقول وانا آسف اذا كنت قد اساء لأي شخص في اي لغة في الايام القليلة الماضية ، لم يكن عن قصد واطلب منكم الصفح ، وهذه الوظيفة ولكن على الرغم من قصة اخرى
I found this forum originally sometime in late December 2007, while sitting in my sons room at Childrens Hospital here In Denver, he was recovering from surgery. He had just undergone brain surgery to implant a shunt, if you don't know what that is well take the time to look it up. This was done to relieve the build up of fluid there caused by a condition called hydracephalus, a side effect of the Ppina Bifida he was born with Dec 6, 2007. Thankfully his twin sister was born quite normal. Henry ( Henri') underwent his first surgery at 1 day old to close the opening in his back that he was born with. part of his spinal cord was exposed when he came into this world. yesterday when Henry woke up vomiting his mother and I were alarmed, it is one of the signs that may mean shunt failure 40% of shunts will fail within the first 5 months, 60% within 6 months, we thought "please God, no" thankfully he has just a stomach virus, but for his whole life we will probably need to take him to the emergency room for common ailmants just to make sure.
what I am getting at, if anyone is still with me, here, there are a hell of a lot more important things in life than doing this, especially for a bunch of UNGRATEFUL fucks! (this is where the rant begins!)
Little more background here.
I started trading analog tapes in the mid 90's right after Jer died and the internet was starting to bloom, it would take weeks sometime to arrange a trade, copy tapes, mail them and then get your new ones back. I collected about 1200 tapes in 4 years.
approx 1999 I got my first CD burner, the net was exploding and trading sites were blooming, what used to take weeks maybe took a few days or so. I managed to grow my collection to about 2000 CD's.
Do you people have any idea how long it takes to prepare a show for posting here? It can be hours to convert MY cd's.
Trading was always just that, you gave something you got something, oh sure there were times that I would send b&P's ( blanks and postage) that is, to some KIND soul who was willing to copy some music for nothing in return, other than THANKS.
Lost my job right after W took office, and was living so far out in the sticks I couldn't get any Highspeed. so I went offline.
Till this past December, and wow.. look at this I can download all the music I want in HOURS minutes even.
I decieded I would give something back, my first post was a retracking of a show that Dex originally posted in one of those single .wma files he's been known to do, I was playing with some new software and cut the show into separate tracks. Feb 08 it looks like looking back at the post, Howlin' Wolf here in Denver 1973.
Then The floodgates opened with the Dead, 157 threads started 350 plus files UPLOADED and dled of course. Not all GD by any means CSN&Y, some Jimi, Elvis, Miles. etc etc everything from 128K Mp3 to FLAC of some.
I spend hours ripping, converting labelling zipping and uploading these shows.
my
Miles davis and Grateful Dead 04-09-1970 I had 120 some downloads in 24 hours! The norm for my stuff is 20 maybe 25, I was floored 120!
and 4 -->yes 4 fucking thank yous, you people, and you know who I mean are pathetic.
How long would it take to become a member here and post a quick thanks? 15 maybe 20 seconds, but you are too damn lazy, stupid thoughtless, _____ ( insert what the fuck you are here)
well guess what LEECHES it is OVER.
some folks know I am not talking to them some have been contacted via PM already, others I have you email.
I am not cutting everyone off, that would not be nice to do to the people who appreciate this.
if you have not recieved a PM from me within the next couple days inviting you to my new PRIVATE email list and feel you are entitled to ( hell I make mistakes you know I may miss some one) please PM me ( hate PM's will not be returned)
this new email list will be a couple a week thing with downloads especailly for folks who do APPRECIATE my work.
the rest of you can ... well I've used enough profanity here already.
so have a Grateful Day
