Seems to me you might be starting to milk it, Mark. Appealing for
donations totalling $5000 for making the list available and maintaining a
useful online clarinet resource seemed fair to me, but taking the excess
$500-1000 or whatever and buying a Rom-burner that would benefit few others
than your commercial business is a bit much, in my humble opinion.

Why not donate the excess funds to a worthy clarinet student selected by
the list?

Sorry to be so blunt; I along with others appreciate your efforts and
contribution to the online clarinet community, but the CD-Rom thing hit a
dischord with me.
