"vow never to post a song here again because he was too high and mighty to learn how to do HTML line breaks? "

Get off it and read the frigg'n post again... My point was that ANY MB worth it's salt will do all that fiddley-niggeling crap for you... And the inability to edit posts just compounds the frustration at typing a post up all nice nice, submitting it only to find that it looks like CRAP because one little HTML tag is messed up or missing... how feckin' stupid is that?!?!?! When FREE MB services all over the net offer editing, and html conversion as basic services, why not this place??? It can't really be THAST hard to do...

And well, with the exception of a very few songs requests that I suspected NO ONE else here was gonna be able to help with, I haven't posted lyrics... That's the point I made in this thread... once I found out that Mudcat policy was slack when it came to basic services like that, I shut up about it and dealt with it exactly how I'm telling the trolls here to deal with their displeasure...

High and mighty has nothing to do with it at all... 'can't be bothered if they can't be bothered' is much closer to the truth of it...

"BTW Clinton, I know of no serious academic music researchers who use DT. It is a wonderful source of lyrics for singers, but it isn't a source for music research, per se. And I didn't think the DT folks ever claimed that it was, or am I mistaken about that? "

Ummm... I donno... did I hint one way or ther other??? cause I don't think I meant to... the DT is an interesting little tool, but like all things that you get for free, you get what you pay for... Sure it has some lyric mistakes perhaps, and some crediting errors I guess, but ya know what... I don't really care... I occasionally just thumb through it for laughs... to see what's there... I've found a lot of neat stuff, and I've found a lot of stuff, that if I could edit my version here, I'd pull right out of it... but that's just me eh...
