No I gave you the information you needed and you snipped it and ignored

evidence was provided?
Doesn't bother me at all. What bothers me is that people are willing to
make claims they can't back up. And you can't. All you can do is post a
bunch of links to sites of companies that make or sell recordings, with
some vague promise that 'the proof is there' if only I'll go looking
for it. Well, I went--not to all of them, but to a handful. There's not
a shred of data on any of those sites that can support a claim that the
market is growing. If you think there is, please point to it
specifically and explain your reasoning. Otherwise, stop making a claim
you can't support.
One wonders if this putative 'strong growth market' will survive the
final passing of the baby boom generation.
(One doubts it.)
One also has to put a 'growth market' in context of what it's growing
*from* and *to*, not to mention *in comparison with*. To take a wholly
hypothetical example, if wax cylinder sales went from 10 to 100 in a year,
wax cylinder fans could point to that as 'strong growth'...
within an impovershed, miniscule market sector. Brave words like
'strong growth' that help the faithful keep the faith in the face of
such dismal realities.
Well then, how about 70-80 releases a month and growing....that good enough
for you to accept it as a viable niche market?
