Hi Michael hope you're doing fine, yes I remember trying to keep up with Elliot's output (sometimes 3 albums in the same month?) but didn't want to miss anything because of his consistent high quality songwriting. What was the motivation behind that malicious troll, was it a personal grudge? he just wouldn't let go.

If by malicious troll you mean Hans Devente, well he was (& may still be) quite well know all over the rock/psych/60s-70s forums/blogs world. He was evidently initially infamous for creating blogs sharing rare/obscure stuff, then killing them as soon as they started getting DL attention. Lately it seems he's now known for reporting on other bloggers, etc and getting their blogs killed. One search result sums him up correctly I think: "web-psychopath". Sad but true.
