Yeah perhaps sending links would have been a better idea. I am an honest
person (I realize you don't know me and I could be making that up; I guess
you'll have to trust what I'm saying) and I even pay for my MP3 downloads,
so I don't want to give something to someone that costs money (that they
should be paying for themselves). I don't want to introduce giving things
away for free that aren't free and that wasn't my intention. Thank you for
your point, it is well taken.
