Just excited for a bootleg, didn't realize showing that excitement was rude? I always assumed tapers would want their bootleg to be something folks got excited over, I've thought about buying the equipment to do it myself and I know my enthusiasm to do so would be pretty low if no one seemed to give a crap about it. Just my 2 cents.

You good sir, are a God among men. About to go download it now, can't even wait hahaha. Thank you thank you thank you!

Asking and requesting a bootleg (as if providing it was an obligation for the taper, instead of a choice) is not showing enthusiasm, but rather being demanding and, to a certain degree, rude.
Last but not least. If you're serious about buying and learning to use taper's gear, then you're more than welcome to do so. The more tapers the merrier! Take a look at our Taper's Guide and join the club!
