..Take it easy man....( Alvin Lee ) -
for my point of view it's a 'lil too much agression in this thread. "....take
care if guys announce a something they sell.....marketing gimmick...." and so
forth.
God's Own Country is far away - but, believe it or not, we got some  - true -
experts down here as well. ( And they know what they're doin'. ) In case you'd
invest your precious tiome to risk a peek into our NG - you'd find out, that
alle the settings will be available to the public - for free - ( if THIS is your
specific & major interest ) -
but, noone to wonder - of course AFTER we've released them to our - selling -
audience.
Nature of business, ain't it ?
Y13, BTW - is of such a potential, that the distributing Co invited us to
clarify a shared business.
But, don'tcha worry - you'll get it in the end - for free. OK ?
Last :
concerning "smacks of fiction" :
listen - as polite as I can express it :
I can't help it if you don't know but I AM the by far eldest journalist in this
scene still on duty, the eldest remaining professional together with Ed
Schroeder and Dave Kittinger - w/w - BTW.
Do you really think I'd risc my reputation for a bean counter salary ?
Surelly not.
Evidence 'll give proof and truth will set me free -
original US spoken words, ain't they ?
