    Yeah I have to say, music on a web page is absolute torture. I hate it every single time. In fact, sound effects in general suck on a web page unless it is some kind of flash game that you deliberately trigger.
    Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

    There is never a good time for lazy writing!

    Not to disparage people who've put a lot of work into making sounds, but I agree with Ari. Sound can be great - but I'd like to explicitly invoke it. (I'm geeky too though - I want to play the sound on the computer that has my headphones attached, not the one that has my eyes glued. Playing on the computer that I'm browsing on is useless, its speakers are turned off.)

    Awww, don't be too hard on yourself. Bring it back, but as a link... I haven't heard it and can't judge, but it could be a neat enhancement to the page.

    Music is rarely a "neat enhancement".

    By rarely I mean never.
    Sure, I got a secret. More 'n one. Don't seem likely I tell 'em to you now, do it? Anyone off Titan colony knows better than to talk to strangers. You're talkin' loud enough for the both of us, though, ain't ya? I've met a dozen like you. Skipped off-home early. Minor graft jobs here and there. Spent some time in the lockdown, but less than you claim. And you're, what, a petty thief with delusions standing? Sad little king of a sad little hill.

    I am not sure how to do that anyway with this program that I use and it isn't worth the angst it creates! It was pretty classical music, but still... I like the site without it!

    Hmm, now I'm suddenly all for putting Gir's Doom song on infinite loop on Kraxe's website. Maybe I should create a special torture room for it...

    Ask Katidyd to make your webpage.
    I wanna love you but I better not touch
    I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop
    I wanna kiss you but I want it too much
    I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison
