Re: *SPAM* Songwriters/Lyricists/Poets - Get your songs recorde

Failure? I don't think so. Not that it was my intention, but the
unecessary and unjustified attacks perpetuated by a few folks here
have insured the BHP a lot more attention than I expected.

There will always be naysayers. People told the Wright Brothers
they'd never fly. People in the 70's said, "No one's gonna pay for
cable when regular TV's free!" Bill Gates once said that a 40meg hard
drive is bigger than anyone would ever need.

To quote the band 311: F*** the naysayers.

As for my posts being spam, until it's illegal, I'm just not
concerned. It's not like I'm posting the message every time in a
thousand newsgroups! Besides, I didn't read any bellyaching when I
posted that BHP is looking for artists to add to it's talent roster.
It seems that there is a subjective qualification being applied to
each version of so-called "SPAM" that is inconsistent.
