Sandra McG, you are most welcome here!

We have a few irascible folks on this forum but by and large, we're quite friendly and even helpful. The reference to first posters applies to those who post one inflammatory message and never return, and we have indeed had our share of those.

You are not one of them. We greatly welcome your participation.

I've noticed it is confusing to some to understand what ASCAP/BMI do versus RIAA and SoundExchange. It's great to have someone here who does have experience with RIAA. I think you are correct; I don't recall RIAA coming up in discussions here in well over a decade.
