To answer both questions:
1. If you started a couple of threads (or contributed to existing ones) that were not merely to pimp your own mashups and remixes, I think you'd develop a reputation that would allow you to get a fair response. If your first post (or third, or tenth) is "Hey...look what I made...whaddaya think?", I'd be willing to bet the regulars in these Forums will be brutal. Really brutal. We are usually quite suspicious of those who appear to have ulterior motives...like, those who don't care what others have to say but merely want to say/sell/promote whatever it is they're hawking and move on. I'm not accusing YOU of that...the fact that you took the time to ask puts you above those folks already.
To your second question: I work less than a block from Five Points, the "hub" of downtown Atlanta, and I, too, am regularly bombarded with aggressive panhandlers. While overly aggressive panhandling was already illegal, the city passed an ordinance last fall to make ALL panhandling illegal. Unfortunately, they don't enforce it. I'm accosted by aggressive and annoying panhandlers all day long, and it drives me nuts. My office is LITERALLY right across the street from the park they congregate in, and I can't dodge them. I've got a friend on the city council. I'll pass your anecdotal tale on her...

Let me get your topic started for you. Why do you make mash-ups? I don't see any artistic backing in them. They seem kinda pointless and are generally annoying (although I love me some girl talk and the gray album was awesome... I prefer it over the black album actually). I'm not attacking you, just curious as to your motivation and ideology.

Girl Talk's mash-up of Grizzly Bear's 'Knife' is incredible...really just mind-blowing stuff. Must be heard to be believed.
Not all those who wander are lost.

Yeah, I don't really listen to mashups either, Boarder. Occass do I see something interesting in mashups, but not often enough to inspire me to listen more frequently. I don't really see the point of them in most instances, sure there are parties, but I generally stick to house, trance, drum n bass, hip hop, and reggae, which allot me more than enough genres to make sure that party music doesn't get stale.
