What does this have to do with running discogs???
You seem to be asserting facts not in evidence and then doubling down with out anything to back it up.
Sorry if I made a mistake by letting people know about this. You've always been a prick. Thanks for confirming it.

Sorry if I rang an unnecessary bell, but the fact that Craig Moerer runs both Discogs and Records By Mail, I thought the message was a advisement about both entities. See below:

Discogs, a.k.a. Records By Mail, distributed this earlier today. I know some of us use their services from time to time so, in case you hadn't heard, you'll be aware of it. Here's the note from Craig Moere and Tim Zagelow:
RBM News
Records by Mail is contacting you to share information about a data security incident that involved your personal information. We are notifying you so that you are aware of this situation, understand what we are doing in response, and know the resources that can help you if you have questions. We take your privacy seriously and value your trust, so please review this communication and let us know if you have any questions.
What Happened
On November 22, 2020, Records By Mail discovered that a bad actor accessed our server and two customer databases on it. The first database with data from 1995 to 2020 contained no credit card information but did contain other customer personal information. The second database with data from 1995 to 2017 did contain encrypted card numbers and passwords for the subset of customers who had dedicated accounts with Records by Mail. In the interest of caution, we are notifying all parties whose personal information, no matter how limited or dated, could be accessed.
The bad actor was not able to view credit card account numbers or Records By Mail account passwords, because that information was encrypted. However, the data that the bad actor was able to access may have included some combination of your unencrypted name, shipping address, billing address, telephone number, fax number, email address, credit card expiration date, and credit card verification value (CVV) number (but not the associated credit card numbers). We have no reason to believe that the data that the bad actor accessed will be misused in the future.
What We Are Doing
Records By Mail is continuing to gather information about the incident and is taking additional steps to protect your data. We shut down the impacted database and are building a new database that will have added security for customer records. Records by Mail’s existing website remains offline, but we will soon debut a new website with improved security features. In the meantime, Records by Mail will continue to sell through third parties such as eBay, Discogs and Amazon.
What You Can Do
While we hope you will not experience any further inconvenience or issues, we recommend that you remain vigilant and immediately report any suspicious activity related to this incident or your accounts to the proper law enforcement authorities in your area. In addition, you can contact tim@recordsbymail.com or call 503-232-1735 if you have questions.
We value the trust you have placed in Records By Mail and deeply regret any concern this incident may cause.
Sincerely,
Craig Moerer

For those who are on the fence with regard to Octopi or Octopuses, and need some enlightenment, might I suggest "My Octopus Teacher" now airing on Netflix. When you're finished, you won't care about proper "pluraling", you'll just be be entranced and fascinated by what you've just seen.

Another touchstone of my misspent youth falls by the wayside. Brit soft rock at its very best.

I'd give my left you know what to have access to the Aric Effron (chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez) recounting of his phone call with Lou Donaldson. All-time great stuff.

I'm a fan of Washington, but I didn't know he'd done anything like this gorgeous ballad.

I saw that. Talk about irresponsible. Was there any discussion of the painting's value?

This forum is indeed a great resource. Approximately what year did the Blue Note Bulletin Board close? I think I must have joined Organissimo after having read through the Penguin guide (8th edition) and explored some other websites like the European Free Improvisation home and the early years of the Free jazz blog.
Had to have been sometime in mid to late 2003. Tom Evered who ran the BNBB was a good guy. Does anyone know what became of him? Anyhow, If you go to the Organissimo search box and enter Blue Note Bulletin Board, you'll find a wealth of information.

I'll just leave it at this. "Buttons & Bows" by Dinah Shore was #1 the year I was born:

Call me irresponsible, but I thought Moms was one of the more interesting personalities we've had here even going as far back as the old BNBB.

Saw her many moons ago here in Portland, Oregon. Say what you will about Burt Bacharach, but Dionne's voice was a perfect fit for his music. "Make It Easy On Yourself", "Walk On By", "You'll Never Get To Heaven" and a dozen others were/are great MOR pop tunes performed by a great pop singer.

My oldest neice is stunning even in a mask.
In that first picture, she looks like the gal who played Beth Harmon in "The Queen's Gambit."

Tal Wilkenfeld. When this was recorded, she was all of 21 years old and, already, a remarkable bass player. Over the years, she's only gotten better. I saw her and her band about four years ago and it made for a memorable evening. She also sings and plays the guitar. While her vocals are a bit of an acquired taste, they are different...one of those the more you hear it the more you like her sort of voice. Here she is playing the 2007 Crossroads Festival with Jeff Beck.
