Forgive me if I sounded like I was reprimanding people for not crediting the
author.  I just happened to receive an announcement from Rathflead about
three weeks ago about his new recording, and wished to provide this
information to the populace at large.  I find him a wonderful bard and
person. (Even though I have not met him personally)

Again, I apologize to anyone who might have been offended by my post.
