I've only just seen this and thought I'd mention a project recently
undertaken to make certain music technology magazine titles available
online. This was done by interested readers themselves with little or no
input from the publishers (although I'm fairly sure that they had
permission from the publishers to put them publically online). Take a
look at http://www.muzines.co.uk for more info.


Sorry about this, James, but I tried it and they chose to block my access
because I have js disabled/limited.

They stated (posting a requirement as if it were a question) "Why would
anyone do that?". Odd attitude, or ignorance? I can't tell. If they don't
know then I suspect they should before building sites that try to dictate
its use.

I'd have asked them in return: "Why do you choose to block access when it
is perfectly possible to write websites that work fine *without* js?

Shame as it might be interesting. But if a site tries to dictate to me that
I *must* use js I start wondering why and am not impressed. Are the simply
clueless and thoughtless?

Sorry about that. It might be interesting, but they seem not interested in
my being able to see it except on their odd terms.

Jim
