Hi yoyodu77,
I just find it illogical that the site is intended to be a collection of scores for sharing purposes and that instead of using it as a repository, which is its purpose after all, the scores are placed elsewhere.
I'm not "chagrined"; it's just that I find it incompatible with charging a premium membership and encouraging people to use the repository that P.-A. wants to be.A. if another channel avoids this type of membership.
I don't need authorization and nothing is "essential" for me, but I find this ridiculous as a way of doing things when it's a question of depositing a score (and not of sharing what's "offered in addition", as you write). Forget it... Life's too short for such arguments.... ☺
