I understand what you are saying here, Tony... It is not /quite/
true. If I may say so, one of the very first replies to the OP
identified bandwidth problems, made a pointer to a good webpage
explaining some things about delivering music and so on (yes, by
me, as it happens). These are clues. And among some of the other
responses, some of which were absurdly nasty in tone (why is
this? They seem to think that a person inviting criticism is an
opportunity to gleefully act like a pack of sharks?) there were
some other clues. But they get obscured by the savagery. It is a
pity because some of these people actually know a few things...
