Folks, I never quite understood why Brendy got so upset about this, but that's why he's here. If we all share the same opinions and write with the same style, we might as well talk to ourselves.

Brendy, you seemed to get quite mad at some people, but that's fine. I'm an adult, and I can take it. (I fully expected to be told to "fuck off" at some point.) You presented a point of view on this song that no one else had, and I learned something from it.

As far as stealing arangements, I don't doubt you expressed your feelings about that to the person who told you they were going to do it, and it's not a surprise to read here-and-now you're mad about it. If someone uses your arrangement without crediting you, it's wrong. What if they tell people who they learned it from? It's something that's done all the time, and I've bought recordings because someone said "I learned the way I play that from (this musician/this CD)." Is it still wrong?

Re going "GUEST," you're probably gonna get more shit than you do with a name, and you're going to get lumped in with all the other anon guests. I would think there's a very small number of people who've pissed you off, and there's a rather large number who learn something from what you write. If you feel it's necessary to change they way you do things because of few people, it's your choice. I personally don't want to lose "Brendy."
