Yeah - I was cyber-stalked a while ago by this creepy old Scottish guy. It freaks you out.

As someone who posted personal and inappropriate content on the internet in my youth, I would just like to say, I hear you.

I would like to remind everyone that the people who run this site are good, reasonable people who respond well to direct, respectful requests. Stop posting your dirty laundry on the boards and start humbly asking nicely. Really, is that so difficult?

The simplest and most sage advice I've read here.

And here's mine Luke, for the rest of your life, try to follow these simple rules:

1) Never write / type anything down you don't want someone else to read.
2) Never record anything you don't want someone (in particular or not) to hear.
3) Never allow pictures or video recordings of yourself that may later haunt you in anyway to be taken.
4) Sobriety, artitstic impression, naiveté, regret or simple stupidity are not viable excuses for breaking any of these.

Most of us, especially me, have broken these simple rules over the course of our lives. If and when they do get broken, somtimes you just have to take your lumps. That's how we learn them.

But as Ken said, the FM's are pretty reasonable and might likely accomodate your request.

Just know that there will still be copies out there that less scrupulous people might be willing to mess with you about.

Hence the rules.

There's a song of mine that I think requires some sort of sensitive handling. Somehow my family caught wind of it and was very hurt by it, etc. and on top of that, I never know when future employment may be made difficult by it. And yeah, I guess I should have thought of that before I put it on songfight, but I'm not even out of the teens yet (until monday anyway) and have a lot less foresight than most. And mothers and employers alike do tend to frown on songs about incestuous rape, in spite of it not really being about that at all.
They laughed when I sat down at the piano, but oh when I began to play (incestuous rape songs)!
