I still find what you did wrong, and my original post wasn't a joke, mocking or angry.
I may get mod slapped for this, I find it unusual that Santa Bono's offer gets banned (Xmas Cards for sale) yet a offer to exchange CDR's for a membership doesn't? At the end of the day it's like Interference is condoning selling bootlegs to line it's own pocketbooks. Take it how you like, I think the mods should have thought this one out a little more.
Trading allowed on here should be like for like.
End of discussion for me....

U2Lynne said:You know, LCK, if you sat back for a bit and really looked at Chris' original replies, you would see that he has a valid point. He was simply bringing it up and pointing out that your offer of four shows for membership was a profit for you offer. Not a huge profit by any means, but you would be making a profit. Eight CDRs cost maybe $2-$4 dollars. Postage, maybe $2-$3 and an envelope, less than $1. That's you paying $5-$8 to make/send the bootlegs and someone paying $12 for them. So, *technically* you are making a profit. That is *all* he was stating at the beginning.
From there, everything kinda went downhill.

http://www.futureshop.ca has 50 packs for less that $30. CANADIAN. What's that in US? $17? That's much less than a $1.50 a disc. (In fact that is what I just paid for my last batch). Envelopes? I haven't bought an envelope in 4 years. I save and reuse them, so that's out too. GIVE ME A BREAK!

And LivLuvAndBootlegMusic, what is a bootleg "worth"?? Well on here it should be "worth" the cost of the CDRs, not what it's worth to YOU. That is what makes it selling and PROFITING.

".... ..."
Well, say I lost my favorite bootleg. It was free for me at first right, because I either traded for it, or downloaded an mp3 version, BUT it's my FAVORITE of all bootlegs, and to me, it's worth a lot. I don't give a flying fuck how much the stupid CD-R actually cost down to the very last penny, I want my bootleg back! Because I'm a lazy person and my CD-RW drive is messed up right now, I'd rather buy the bootleg from someone else. But see, they didn't previously have the bootleg for sale, they weren't trying to gain a profit, but I OFFERED to PAY for the bootleg BECAUSE I WANT IT and I'm too lazy to download the entire concert again or fix my CD-RW drive. The person who I'm buying it from doesn't deserve to be flamed for trying to make a profit and start a commercial venture and all that rediculous stuff. Besides, like the mod already said, you CAN sell stuff here. So there!

kudos to all involved
LCK said:LMFAO! Can I use the word f*ckwit in here?
You're quite the busy bee Chrisedge- checking out Canuck websites, scouring the bowels of Interference without benefit of a search engine. Maybe the boss could give you time off work so you can research this properly. Perhaps you could even get a grant?
I offered a trade, not a sale. Why do you have to go on about it like some kid who's just lost his fave hockey card in a game of curb toss? Why, your grandkids will be retelling this tale at the rate you're going I honestly think you'd be less scandalized if I'd offered Elvis a blowjob in exchange for membership.

LCK said:
Pardon me for stating the obvious, cause it seems to fly right under your radar, but no one is forcing you to keep opening this discussion. You've voiced your opinion ad nauseum, I already said I wasn't making the trade etc. , so what brings you back again and again? lol, its sure easy to yank your chain tho isn't it?
