GUEST,And Toto too! DTStudy: A Proposal (78* d) RE: DTStudy: A Proposal 26 May 02


An excellent idea, Joe O. I also agree with Gargoyle, that we should have a totally separate space at the Cafe dedicated to it. Otherwise, we still have to wade through all the juvenile wisecracking "humor" bullshit that always seems to ends up taking over the serious music discussion threads.

Also, I am uncomfortable with the idea of taking lyrics from other people's websites & posting them here. That is a big no-no among researchers. We should refer people to the other sites with blue clickies, web addresses, etc. If you don't set it up that way from the gitgo, in an effort to empress others, I think we'll end up seeing Lesley's Contemplator site cut and pasted into the DTStudy threads, which really undermines that person's hard work.

Much harder work than has been put in over the years at DT/Mudcat to maintain a quality product. So careful, careful in that regard. Don't step on the toes of others who have and are continuing to do a tremendous amount of work to create and maintain very high quality lyrics sites. We don't have the right to steal their work, just to pick up the slack for DT/Mudcat not maintaining their site over the years. I know that sounds harsh to those who love this place, but that is the bottom line. Max, Susan and Dick haven't maintained their resources over time. And it shows, especially in comparison with the other really high quality lyrics sites.
