Subject:Re: B3 Player magazine

Um...is it just me or has the actual seller of the
magazine, Dr. Hojo, only posted about it a couple
times? The rest of the posts are people talking about
it. Is that not allowed? In that case, no more posts
about...well...any products.

I am surprised that people are actually complaining
about an amazing, new resource like this. It is
obviously a huge labor of love and $10 is nothing for
information like this (and what I imagine will be
coming down the road).

Some of you have to lighten up and just press the
delete button on threads that you don't have an
interest in.
