Removed.
Sorry, guys. For the last week I've uploaded 5 files, which have been downloaded over 130 times and what I got back? 6 thanks and one advice to not be cocky. I can't understand that and I don't want to go on this useless sharing.
Brian's gigs in the USSR? They were after Urk '83 perhaps :)
Yes, I have this complete Brian's performance in Moscow, but due to quality of recording I don't think there's need to upload it. It has a lot of cuts by the way. Nothing interesting for anyone outside Russia, IMHO.

Thanks a lot you ungrateful bastards, and sorry Serry that so many people find it so hard to simply post a thank you.
I agree with you Serry.
Here is a cut and paste from an earlier mail of mine from another thread (In case anyone missed it there). link

Seven days ago, '1984' material was among some of the rarest collectables on the planet. Yet you received it free and without effort - and you STILL complain.
Now you are unhappy because two tracks (OK one is a medley) has NOT been shared with YOU!
Not a 'thank-you'. Not a 'isn't this a wonderful thing to have in flac', just total selfish ingratitude.
Including this reply, you have written seven posts in total. (I list them all below), but I must say I am far from impressed. You are an ungrateful leech who has not contibuted anything positive to this community, but you suck us dry like a vampire - and then complain that the blood is NOT to your liking.

Not even a posting in any other topic - just the 'Requst' and 'Announce' - and as I said above - not even a solitary 'Thank-you'.
Sir, if all you can do is complain, and expect others to serve YOUR parasitical needs - Queenzone is a better place without you.
I'm sorry Serry that you have decided to stop sharing due to the lack of recognition you've been getting, but like all other torrent sites there are and ever have been, it would be very impractical for every user to leave a "thanks" in the post. Posts would just end up being discarded and meaningless, and any comments of real interest or critique(i.e. torrent related) would possibly go unread.
That is not to say that I think you are being selfish by demanding thanks, its only natural, but if its the only reason you upload files then it is probably best that you stop doing it (for your own sanity). This site/forums are not designed to properly accomodate torrents and a private tracker. The lack of a ratio system and more defined categories for torrent types/requests does distance it from other similar torrent sites. This leaves the whole thing a little messy, which is visibly obvious with the flood of torrents coming into the announce section.
Please do not misread this post, I STRESS THAT IT IS NOT AN ATTACK ON SERRY OR THIS SITE. I merely would like to add that with changes there may come more 'thanks', just like other sites, dimeadozen, bitsoup, sharing the groove(now gone),etc. These sites similarly have private trackers, but they monitor the activity more seriously, and categorize torrents more accurately, which in turn makes sharing a lot more efficient, and those selfish users like John mentions would end up being warned/banned.

Thank you but to be honest you have every right to remove it and you still can if you want, I haven't downloaded yet."
- lol, nearly quite an honourable post...
"EDIT: besides..rapidhsare isn't working for me at the mo :P so nevermind. It keeps showing a red x instead of the code image I'm supposed to type in."
... until it's more clear that you physically can't get it so maybe others shouldn't either... ha ha. (Gotta love this sites unquestionable childishness).
Serry,
I know I've been guilty of "hit and run" on some downloads, and other times I do thank the uploader. With downloads becoming so available due to the current and ever expanding technology, I think that many of us just take them for granted. In the good old days of trading and vines, you had direct contact with someone involved in sharing the music, but times have changed and unfortunately manners haven't kept pace.
I'll make a point of thanking uploaders for the downloads that I get from this and any site in the future. I also would like to see the threads take on a dialogue on the material once it has been viewed or listened to - it would be very interesting to see others responses to the performances instead of pages of "thank you" posts.
Thanks for being so generous in the past. I hope that you continue to share, but if not I understand. If nothing else, your response to the lack of proper etiquette has definitly given at least one fan reason to reflect on yours and others generosity.
