- Well, that's true :). It's a mystery to me, too..

- The PartyII? I was told that this was not possible... but if you can help,

- True... but I have been noticing that there are many significant parallels
- between coding demos and coding music... When you "code" music, you can
- optimize it, use tricks nobody's ever used before (not talking about
- rarely-used effect commands, either), professionally edit it (the samples,
- especially) to fit your specific needs, etc. It's been my observation
- that 99% of all mod-writers out there don't care about any of this.
- It's especially bone-chilling to hear the "click!" resulting from a poor
- loop :).

- Some people are morons :). How did they ever get your phone #?

-
- That's one up on me :). I've NEVER seen a good American demo. However,
- I've seen a couple of very small but somewhat interesting Canadian demos :).

-
- It would be a good idea if this country actually produced enough demos
- to make a top-ten (or a top-three... or a top-one ;)... the only group
- I know of that has any American members is ours (gee...duh! :) Actually,
- I heard that a group called Bloodsuckers used to have some...but I haven't
- seen anything from them at all (so they're probably dead).

- >Don't Blame The Lame!

- But they deserve it :).
