There are a lot of things that make this site great (new format notwithstanding), and one of those are comps. I've gotten a ton of them from you guys and gals. And I've tried to offer back comps to anyone who wants them. I've been introduced to a bunch of new music that I would not have been otherwise. And I've dropped a wad of cash on music since finding this site 3 years ago (much more than I probably would have done w/o this site and it's music discussions). And I enjoy talking about comps, and appreciate it when someone takes the time to give a thorough review of a comp or album.

I agree with JC - nothing prevents a lurker from requesting a comp. I think I know you guys well enough that you wouldn't turn a request down just because they weren't one of the regulars (if you can call this group regular - LOL).

And if someone doesn't want to read about a comp, I equate that to a channel you don't want to watch on TV - change the channel (i.e. don't read the thread).
