All Zep Traders should take offence to this

[Aaron/Liz Jordan <claj@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was trying to set up a 2:1 deal for some Floyd tapes and I asked him
if he would do it tapes required plus postage like most of us do it and
he said he would only take 2:1+3 dollars and I told him that was a
ripoff to which he replied to my message and said this, everything with
the > comes from my message.

Probably - or else its because Zep traders are burnouts with
no life so they enjoy having something to do with their
meaningless existence.

You will be looking for a looooooong time.  
 
You must be on welfare because you obviously are used to having
things given to you.
 
You would think just out of common courtesy you would be 
willing to give something to the taper of your music for their
time and generosity to share the music, if nothing else.
 
>  Reimbursement for what?
 
General hassle, printing out inserts, the effort required to go to the
post office to mail them to you, having to read your handwriting,
putting up with your shit if some little something goes unlike the way
you planned, buying ink, buying paper, time for emailing you, etc,
etc...

We'll have to wait and see...at least I will have 7 years of it's 10
year warranty remaining to take care of it for me. Pink Floyd is the
only band worthy of being copied on great audio equipment.


He called us burnouts with no life!!! Man am I steaming right now but oh
well at least he is wrong and I have been 2:1 with someone allready who
does a FAIR trade. Are we really burnouts with no life? Am I on
welfare?? Is helping a newbie really a hassle??? Is Pink Floyd the only
thing that should be recorded on High end equipment??? The answer is No!
Sorry about all this rambling I thought you folks would like to see what
others think of us.
