Re: AUDITORY Digest - 9 Aug 2012 to 10 Aug 2012 (#2012-195)
Has anyone noticed that the amount of space dedicated to this topic so far Has dwarfed the original request for an article? We all have the ability to ignore posts and hit delete whenever the mood inspires. So long as there are no copyright laws broken does it really matter at all whether members ask other members for help them find articles?
