Thank you to Diane Hamilton and all the staff at LMA for their patience these last two weeks. I had to buy a new hard drive to handle the wealth of SBDs flooding the internet. If you want the music it is available at multiple sites, if you just want to rant and rave, at this point it is boring, and the personal attacks are uncalled for.
Peace and Enjoy the season!

FTR, this morning I observe some significant context loss above, so possibly we're beginning to move on now.

So as not to leave on a sour note I would like to thank everyone (even those with whom I vigorously disagreed) for teaching me so much over these past 10 days.
Thank you for opening my mind and allowing me to participate with you in such a rich canvas of expression, thought, emotion, wit, and, yes, even silliness. It has been an honor and something not soon to be forgotten.
Best regards and the happiest, most peaceful new year yet to everyone!

As a bigger picture comment, I think the discussions that have gone on about the Grateful Dead situation would have been less intrusive if the Archive had a more sophisticated forum such as those phpbb pages in a way that a viewer would only see the main topic and not a line for each response underneath it unless it was expanded. Generally. I think this would benefit the Archive in a number of ways such as possibly seperating out technical questions, band related questions and bands that are using the Archive to actively promote themselves. Just a suggestions. I know the Archive has a lot on their "to do" list and I do appreciate all that is available through here.
And phishphan, if you're lucky enough one day Holy Moses and the High Rollers will have a fanbase that feels as strongly about your music as many of us do about the Dead.

The problem I have seen is that there is just been so much backlash from all of this in the forums here. And now there is more admin time needed to monitor and in the case of a large chunk of these recent GD posts, moderation or complete removal of the thread, that its causing a lot of basic pain-in-the-ass usage of the site. last week I couldn't surf from page to page, looking for a show, without having to wait for a few minutes per page to load, while some threads were viewed over 1000 times in one day. I've been here for a while, and I've never seen the volume on the forum board like last week, ever.
I know that archive.org/audio is the source of a shit ton of controversy recently, and because of that general traffic has probably increased. hell, friends who don't even know how to use a computer, but make me grab shows for them, even knew about the removal. I think Diana is trying to stress that maybe with all the increased traffic, and everyone posting every 2 minutes about how things suck now, that keeping this service running smoothly is becoming something more difficult to do. Sounds like the people who keep this place alive are politely asking for us to ease up and lighten the load a little bit. can we?

It flies in the spirit of the entire archive. I was planning a long, thoughful post, but in the end all I wanted to say was:
This sucks.
So I'll just say that.
"Thanks for your understanding."
Don't thank me for something you don't have.

"http://gdforum.com/forum/
they have a tape trading forum"
I can also recommend that folks start personal blogs to air their views. Indeed, I have noticed a couple Deadheads who have done so as a result of recent events.
