I hope I can let this debate die now with this post! I am not going to post anymore bootlegs of which has the label "Don't convert to mp3" anymore! But I will post the rest of this bootleg just to be respectless to a person which doesn't deserve respect! This is what Melanie has written on the EZBoard about me:
"Thanks for the show. I understand the info file note for no mp3 conversion. I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. I upped a show recently and it was on an mp3 download sites the next day. My info note didn't mean crap. I'm not upping any more shows while this guy is out there trashing what we try to make good. He comes here to grab and go. His share ratio is lousy. I'll wait until he exceeds his limit before I up another show. I like all German people but he is giving all Fleetwood fans a bad rep." (http://www.easytree.org/torrents-details.php?id=21622)
And she was the one who seeded this show! You blamed me for not respecting the taper's request, but I can tell you that this was her request! everyone of you contacted me, except the taper of this show! Does he know that she offers his show for bittorrent? I want to hear from him that this was his request!
A few days ago I used the example of the "My Heart" demo and you said:
"The My Heart song was completely different, this was a never before heard of song, the SYW set at Siuox City was the same goddamn set that FM played nearly every night of 2003 / 2004." (I wont add a comment about the "goddamn set that FM played nearly every night" now)
"...because you mentioned 'My Heart', I think that was a slightly different situation"
Remember who refused to share the "My Heart" demo? Hmmmm......let me think about it! Could it be possible that our Melanie appears here again? YES! She had the demo on a CD and then she converted it to a mp3 snippet (oh no, why did se convert it to mp3 and why doesn't she share this snippet over bittorrent) to tell the world: Look whatv I have here and you will never get it! She refused to trade the CD, because she knew that we would like to have the demo (not me that much, but a lot of other users even here)
And now please tell me that you think it was right what she did! I know that it was not right what I did, but she has done worse things! It is not about that particular show anymore, it is an discussion about mp3 vs. shn/flac files and it is forgotten that Melanie has been respectless to all of us when she had something what we wanted and she refused to trade/upload it for us! Even worse, she uploaded a snippet to tell us what we will never hear! Now that's what maked me think that she hates sharing!
And the point that as long as I post those mp3, people refuse to upload now torrent to the site! WTF? The biggest ever! Has there ever been more torrents on a short time like it was on the last day? Hell no!

(I better not say somethng about this, but you hate me for posting mp3s, but for someone who uplaoded mp3-sourced files and gets banned because of it, you try to find excuses "I'm sure the seeder didn't know his format was lossy." Huh? Mabye! But that is what the seeder has written on the EZBoard "So if there are a lot circulating that are mp3 sourced, you may want to wait till somebody checks." I am pretty sure he expected to it be lossy, but that is just a detail!)
6 bootlegs in two days! I actually don't care anymore if Melanie refuses to post bootlegs anymore as long as there is so much new stuff posted!
As I said, I am not going to post new tracks from "Don't convert to mp3" bootlegs anymore, excpet this bootleg! And don't ever think about saying I don't respect the tapers requests as a reason that I mustn't post the bootleg anymore! It was not his request, it was Melanie's request! I dobn't care about her and her "I like all German people but he is giving all Fleetwood fans a bad rep."-stuff! Something like this makes me feel embarassed that she was born in the same country as I! If I have gotten a rare song, the first thing I would do is share it and not telling the world you will never get it!
