It's perfectly understandable (and very important in my opinion) that the subject of the missing music is kept alive, but it's also perfectly understandable that, once old muckers of Dave Bulmer wade in to say what a good bloke he was (it is an obit thread after all, though something grates when mates of his studiously ignore or try to defend what he did) there's going to be negativity. I don't agree that we should treat an ancient thread with kid gloves just because it started off an an obituary thread, so OK, it's gone sour and maybe the brake should be applied. But there is a just cause here and it isn't going away. I'm not going to pretend that I admire Dick's modus operandi, but it's a good fight he's fighting, one that could perhaps be fought in a more measured way. Easy, tiger...

And there's too much we don't know: do the recordings still exist, are they still any good, do his family know where they are, do they know anything about what's going on, would they know what to do even if they did know, have they dug in because of all the criticism, hence the silence... So we just keep on rattling around... :-(
