1. NO mp3's, VCD's, or any other compressed format. It destroys the quality of the music. If you're not honest about the generation upfront, I will not trade with you. 2. I do NOT sell, so do not ask me. 3. No gaps or clicks of anykind. I want my shows to be seamless. 95% of my shows are seamless, and the one's that are not I will fix using Cool Edit Pro. I label the shows that were de-clicked by myself or other traders. 4. If you contact me, you send first. And if I contact you, I'll send first. Once we have some sort of rappor with each other I'm lenient on who sends first. It's all about trust. I've been trading for a long time and have racked up quite a reference list, so I'm a very trustworthy person. 5. I prefer to trade in CDR format, but I have no problem uploading/downloading .shn's or .flac. I'll also gladly accept MD, Analog and/or DAT, but I cannot trade them out. 6. This really isn't a rule, just a general observation. Trading is fun. Have fun doing it. If you're open to ideas they will benefit you in the long run. Not only will you get yourself some great music, but you can meet some cool people along the way. 7. Lastly, I DO tape shows. I use my friend's equipment: Sony MZ-R70 MiniDisc and Sony ECM-909 mic. I don't have frequent access to it, so I can't fulfill everyone's requests. But if there is a show you really want me to tape I will, and we can work out the details in private. Have fun! -Bill Schofield
