I was also curious as to why there were, all of a sudden, so many requests for lyrics.

Joe Offer explained and so that was Ok except that as someone else pointed out it does leave less room for current threads. Not sure whether that is a good or bad thing?

What I have noticed is that most of the queries could be sorted out by just a little web effort and maybe just spending a little bit of money.

The people who wrote the songs are surely worth their dues.
