Hello there. You're of course entitled to your own opinion and
that's fine, but please let me correct a misimpression. I'm not
currently selling vintage radio shows, DVD, mp3, CD or
otherwise. When I start selling them, they certainly won't be in
mp3. I have no like for the mp3 format. I might sell them on DVD,
that is as yet undecided. To answer your questions, I don't
currently hold a position on the staff except as a volunteer
validator as time and interest permit. I don't understand the reason
for the second question so I'll leave it alone. As you said, you
don't know me so I'm not sure why you seem so upset. The fact of the
matter is that with community projects like bookshare, Project
Gutenberg, open source software, wikis, and pretty much everything
else nowadays online, they are volunteer-based. If you want
something done, you have to get in there and push. Complaints on the
various lists get you nowhere. I'm sorry if I offended you, but
that's the way it stands. Look at any number of sites if you don't
believe me. There is nothing that I or any other volunteer can do,
for example, if a book is missing a synopsis except get out there and
invent something. As much as I personally don't agree with Jake's
methods of site design, I have to give him the credit for getting out
there and trying. I haven't looked at his site so I don't know how
useful it is, but apparently people have found it helpful. He saw a
need and fixed it, just as I did with vintage radio books,
etc. There is really nothing to be offended about. Look at any
Linux distribution to see what I mean about volunteer-based
projects. I'm guessing that the reason why this apparently bothers
you so much is that you aren't acquainted with free software. That's
unfortunate but I understand. I can wait until you're more familiar
with it. Where or how you came up with the idea that I'm selling
vintage radio in mp3 I have no idea but you're welcome to look at

Tony,
I don't know you, and I don't think I want too. What you got going, besides trying to pedal old time radio shows on mp3 dvds and selling them for exorbitant prices?
From your diatribe I just read on missing synopses, I have 2 questions. What position do you hold on the Bookshare staff? and, How's the weather up there on mount Sinai?
