Hi Folks - found my cookie - it was under the tea cosy!
Mick and Jon - yes I know that the troll is not interested in the Digital Tradition and is just using it as an excuse to be obnoxious. I just thought that somebody ought to point out for the benefit of any legitimate visitors that the Digitrad is NOT a private empire.
I also do not see the Wiki (arent they just short Wookies anyway?) idea as a sensible approach, for the same reasons quoted by SRS and yourself, Jon, plus the fact that it is NOT JUST a collection of lyrics. Dick's aim of having words and melody tied together accurately needs a well coordinated system. BUT - if somebody did want to produce a Wiki, there are no restrictions imposed by Dick which would prevent such an endeavour. Any insinuations are simply deliberate obfuscation (nice word), not the reality of Dick's position.
Dick - I do not have the correct technical background to be of help computer-wise, (give me a field of fungi and I could catalogue THEM for you), but would support the effort if I had.
Could you try a University Computing department - perhaps they could be persuaded to let a student use the programming challenge as a coursework project?
Quack!
GtD.
