       As far as I know, she wasn't very pleased with the demos appearing..
As we all know Kate is a perfectionist when it comes to her work, so I'm
sure it couldn't have been very pleasant for her to have songs of hers
released that weren't quite finished and not (yet?) meant for the public..

     I know how you feel, though, barnstormer.. Although I didn't feel very
guilty about getting the demos, sometimes when I listen to them I do feel
like I'm looking through Kate's personal diary, and that I really shouldn't
be doing that.. 

                   Emmy.
