I truly appreciate Sean taking the time to answer questions. But, I guess you missed when Sean said, "Les, I understand you have a lot of questions but I'm not able to answer all of them (most) on this forum."  and "It wasn't my intention to set myself up as a representative for PROs in general or even of SOCAN and defend our policies or procedures." Perfectly reasonable!

ASCAP Board Member Doug Wood also gave a LOT of his personal time to the list. (Officially, unofficially, I don't care.) He even went as far as giving out his studio phone number and email to help anyone offlist. He also invited list members to a group conference call he set up to discuss matters. I feel disrespecting him was short-sighted and unkind. I feel like this list has stabbed its biggest ally in the back.
