[Slowhand] RE: Slowhand Digest, Vol 3, Issue 473, etc etc

[Jon Maclean]

Sorry folks, but the Digest has become something of a bore to me in recent 
days. I've scanned through several of them recently without seeing the name 
"Eric Clapton" mentioned at all.
Sure, the distribution of EC shows, properly duplicated, is an important 
consideration to many of us, but enough is enough. I'm sick of reading about 
EAC, DAO, ripping, burning, Roxio, Nero, etc.
Reading all this dross may excite a computer nerds' convention, but it 
leaves me (and I suspect just a few others) a little cold. There has been so 
much information in fact that it is only adding confusion to the mix.
On the one hand I sincerely sympathise with Mark's frustration over the 
"dirty pool" scenario, particularly after his herculean (and unpaid) efforts 
over the past few years, but on the other hand I feel he wants to stop the 
overflow of a dam well after the first major cracks have appeared in its 
walls. An information center on one of these trading sites would be a 
tremendous asset, particularly if several of those currently debating this 
issue recently were prepared to contribute, but in reality this particular 
forum is supposed to be about discussing Eric Clapton and his music. And it 
becomes a particular bore when people start getting nasty. We're ALL Clapton 
fans here, otherwise we wouldn't bother reading any of this banter at all. 
Let's introduce a little tolerance.
Apart from Grant's interesting comment about EC's session work (and 
Richard's lone reply), I've learnt nothing about Clapton or his music in 
several posts. And that disappoints me the most.
Flame away.

Cheers,
Jon
