Yes, maybe I'm being naive, but I still like to believe in the original
ethos of FAX as summed up on PK08/01's "if we ever have to compromise...
that's the day we shut down the label" (quote may be inexact).  To me
that means "we're not going to do this JUST to sell out and make money,
but of course if we make money in the process, so much the better".  In
fact, I hope PK and KS are making good money doing what they're doing!

There's been talk in the past about how PK isn't getting "rich" off FAX,
and I believe that.  Whether or not PK is "sick" of doing it and is just
doing it for "money" (as KS made it sound), is for PK to tell us, I
guess.  It may be the truth (or not), but it's not necessarily something
your "public" wants to hear.

I was mainly referring to what many people have mentioned on this list
especially regarding DSotM 9 and how it sounded like some previously
release KS stuff.  Not being a KS expert, I'll have to leave that to
someone else.
