Flame off Well in re-reading that post below and looking at http://www.corpsreps.com/ I believe I have been too hard on Mr. Strickler. They have indeed set up a database of corps members but it appears to be opt-in rather than opt out. A couple of Ambassadors people have registered there. They have also properly credited me in the history part of their record of the Ambassadors. Good luck to them and have a look at their site as they have managed to pull together quite a bit of information about a lot of corps. - Sam

A re-post from the (now gone) bulletin board I found this on Google. They cache pages so I could retrieve it. This was originally posted on the old bulletin board on May 19, 2002. I am still a bit annoyed with their cavalier attitude towards copyright but I guess it's common. Ambassador Alumni please read... Everyone who has their name listed on my site may wish to make a note that they are probably now listed in the database of former corps members on the www.Corpsreps.com [web site]. Below is the e-mail I received from them recently. I was a bit sticky with them but as they are running a commercial site (they sell CDs), I need to be careful about copyright issues. Quote: My reply of May 19 (yes I know, Andy, I'm slow...) Quote: I was a little annoyed with that bit about my not responding being a sign that it's okay to go ahead. I won't be doing any business with them any time soon! At any rate if you are concerned, let them know at Corpsreps.com

#| But what about the newsfeed? The XML from Blogstreet is working now, sort of. The link on the left points to a slightly better feed than before. At least the links lead to something now. For those of you confused by the above, this may help (scroll up a bit). - Sam

#| The Banner never did this... This Conneticut online newspaper seems to have regular reports about the local (small) corps, the Westbury Drum Corps. The corps itself doesn't seem to have a web site. This sort of support in the small town media for a local corps is refreshing although perhaps it is not so rare in the 'States: Town Times

Loss of bingo income for the Patriots The Patriots Drum and Bugle Corps is having trouble with their bingo fundraising. A common problem for many corps over the years: Democrat & Chronicle: Smoking ban waiver debated - Sam

Scout House Alumni Corps I received the following from Dennis Lytle today. Here it is for those interested in alumni corps. (I have changed the e-mail addresses to avoid spamination. You know what to do.)

#| The RSS feed doesn't work yet. I am working on it. I am amazed I can do it at all. Impressive tho' isn't it? For those curious about RSS, RDF, newsfeeds and such see: http://www.faganfinder.com/search/rss.shtml or http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Really_Simple_Syndication

Oh, I guess I better follow up on baby news! Sam P. King was born in early September. He was 6 lbs 4 oz at birth and is now a healthy 3 month+ old. Sorry to be cagey about details but I don't want to have people taking credit cards out in his name or something equally ridiculous. I also have a new job with a Canadian broadcaster in their archives department. Changes all around! Merry Christmas all!

#| I have linked to this blog from the Ambassadors site (finally). Eventually I will turn this into the new News/Why is this here page but until I can get some time to edit the blog template I'll leave that alone. Welcome!
