What do I say to ANYONE who posts dozens (and sometimes hundreds) of messages day in and day out? That they should get a life. As far as the bashers of this stock: they seem to be the only ones making any sense. This company and its management have an absolutely pathetic history, and my guess is without this thread and its 30,000 posts to hype and bash this company, it would have been out of business long ago because it wouldn't have been able to continually print money through the issuance of its continually declining stock. I have never seen so much to do made about a silly Music Card. I have not seen a single argument on this thread for WHY anyone would want a Music Card. 1. The savings are not substantial. These CDs can be purchased elsewhere at similar prices. 2. It's yet one more thing to carry around. 3. I have yet to see anyone mention the MP3 problem, and how more and more teenagers are getting their music for free (even if they are doing so illegally). 4. Teenagers are impulsive. When they decide they want a CD, they go to the record store and get it. How long will they have to wait to get a CD when they use their Music Card? A day? 3 days? A week? 5. How much is the shipping charge? 6. The projections I have seen on this thread are ridiculously optimistic. Unless TSIG can offer a very COMPELLING reason for anyone to get the MusicCard, they will never be successful. And the compelling reason is NOT price, because EVEN not counting the $10 it costs to buy a music card, they STILL rarely offer the best prices. Example: BuyMusic.Com offers better prices on ALL except one of the 5 CDs that myMusicCard.com is featuring today on its home page. So, WHY in the WORLD would I give then $10 and then still not get the best prices, and continue to give them $10 for every CDs I purchase. Does the Music Card hold some kind of special information that would be valuable to its holder? Can I take myMusicCard to my local CD store and buy the CD there and get my savings? Or do I have to order on the Internet or the phone and WAIT days for my CD to show up? Again, you are asking someone to pay $10 in advance, and then you are STILL not giving them the best prices. It doesn't matter how many companies agree to push the Music Card if the Music Card doesn't provide me with the absolute best prices, UNLESS if offers something else very compelling. Anyone, what the COMPELLING reason to buy the Music Card???
