| tri sapphire 07/07/22 12:28:35 AM #36 | Well, I originally wanted tri-sapphire to begin with, but dashes weren't allowed back then. So I used tri_sapphire for my login, and I went with tri sapphire for my board name (because I didn't like the underscore, but you couldn't use spaces for your login name).

Can you honestly say that these song writers are getting any royalties at all even when their song hits the top charts?
