Bill,

I rarely disagree with you, 'cept maybe on politics...rarely, however, on issues of music. But, this time, I'm kinda on the other side...with Big Jim. OurStage is their show. It is up to them to decide how to handle it...if they do at all. Since it is their site, their investment, they have to make the decisions. But, we as participants have the option to NOT participate if we are unhappy with the way it is handled....or NOT handled. In this case, our inaction (no future participation) would be far more effective than ranting to them. They are aware, so, as Big Jim said, the ball is in their court.

I am going to initially give OurStage the benefit of the doubt and see how it is handled. It cannot be done instantly. In fact, I am not sure if there is anything they can do for this month at all. But, if they do not address the issue before next month's contest, then that is a much different story. I would then be much less willing to participate.

Just my thoughts. Take care, Bill. Hello to Sylvia.
