The cheeky monkeys also nicked the bells and rain STRAIGHT OFF Black Sabbath by, yes, Black Sabbath in that product demo.

Well, you fucking tell me!

well, the guy who replied to your email was me. the guy who did the unforgivable mistake was also me. the guy who wrote the demo was: also me. i don't care if you post my reply to a public mailing list, but next time, please delete my email address first - i get enough spam already.

as for ripping of black sabbath, you better listen closer before you accuse people for no reason. and you get the author's permission before you rip their entire songs and put them online for everybody.

I deleted the addresses.

P.s. Are you trying to say that rain, thunder and church bells are not trademarks of Black Sabbath?

i didn't know that rain, thunder and church bells are a trademark of black sabbath (which is probably down to the fact that i don't listen to their music). but what has one to do with the other? the snow song doesn't contain rain and/or thunder.

what's i'm referring to is "nicked [..] STRAIGHT OFF Black Sabbath".

In my youth I made a song that had owls in it. Now I can hear a cling of a cash register everytime owl says something stupid in TV documentaries.

You probably shouldn't take posts of off topic (or the whole board, to be exact) too serious. This board comes with this huge tag:



We all oldtimers are current or at least former users of Access synths and respect your company. The reason why this board is still a live and there are many users that still hang around here even they have sold their Virus ages ago is that it's based on very hippy anarchy. We moderate only in cases of:
a) Illegalities (piracy, child porn, lobbing for the Republicans, etc)
b) Personal malevolent insulting, flaming and fight picking.
c) Non-Virus-releated advertising
d) Anything forum Hitlers consider worth moderating.

This means the board is highly informal and most of the stuff here is sarcasm and general stupidity.

We Finns have a saying about Savolaxians: "When talking to a Savolaxian, the responsibility is on the listener". That same saying goes well with this board, except there are forum members instead of Savolaxians and the responsibility is on the reader.

So no worries about accusitions. We are all community care patients with medication.

juho, i know what you mean but you need to understand that this off topic thread is very on topic for me because it contains my name and accusations for things i supposed to have done.
so, Old Vantaa Man, is your post serious or more of a joking nature?

You got a point here. Also an unauthorised publication of an e-mail is rather annoying thing. Shame on you, OVM, shame on you!

Oh come on Marc. Do you think I care about apostropes? No. It was your use of only lower case that pissed me off.

Your tune is NICKED, btw.

Wecome to OT, btbtw
