Notice: this message is directed at one person, and one person only. If you did not send an email to Avian at or around 2:45 pm (14:45 hrs) Mountain Daylight Time on September 22, 2004, with the subject heading of "What's Up?", requesting why your requests were removed and demanding to know why we were editing requests (even going so far as to ask why you were "being singled out here"), this message is
not directed at you.
If you DID, in fact, send such a message to Avian (avian@auralmoon.com), then I'd suggest you pay very close attention to what I'm saying. It will likely have a significant impact on whether or not you can continue to tune in to our station.

Well, that came one step closer to reality this morning.
We finally received a whiney quit-pickin'-on-me email from our favorite overrequester this morning. I saw it first thing in the morning, and my initial response was to send it off to Jim. Had I actually sent off the response that I would likely have, it would have likely scorched the wires between here and there, leaving a sizable crater where it landed.
But let's make it official, shall we (in the odd event that our favorite overrequester actually visits the forums (as Jim suggested in his response)):
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Any further overrequesting from you will lead to one of four results:
- You will be removed from making requests on a permanent basis.
- You will be removed from access to the web site, partially or totally, on a permanent basis.
- You will be permanently blocked from access to the streams that provide the substance that is Aural Moon.
- any combination of the above three, including and not limited to, all three.
Now since I can already imagine you opening your mail client or hitting the reply button, let me save you the effort.
The official definition, subject to change with or without notice and at the sole discression of the management of Aural Moon, of the practice we call "overrequesting" contains, but is not limited to:
- requesting the same song more than three times by the same person or location within 1 week
- requesting the same song more than six times by the same person or location within 2 weeks
- any series of requests by the same person that the management deems to be overrequesting.
The management reserves the right to remove any content at any time for any reason.
The management reserves the right to refuse access to the station as a whole or any parts of the station to anyone at any time for any reason with or without consent or warning.
In his response to you, dear overrequester, Jim indicated that it was not his intention to drive you off or alienate you. I do not feel such constraint. Whether you listen to Aural Moon or not is a matter of monumental indifference to me. Listen or don't, I don't care. But the amount of effort I and the rest of the staff at Aural Moon is expending because of your action far exceeds any benefit being derived by your presence, and I, for one, am growing
VERY weary of having to monitor your activity. I have many other things I can be doing that are much more pleasant. Thus, if I have to block you, I will, without hesitation or remorse.
And if I have to do this, I can assure you that it will be permanent.
I'd be lying if I said that I was sorry if you felt that this missive was threatening. I've invested a great deal of time in this station, the bulk of it over the last few months being as a direct result of your activities. And I am getting well and truly SICK of it. Consider it a warning -- far more than I personally believe you deserve.
You have been warned.
Roger -Dot- Lee, becoming VERY fed up with this nonsense.
