a couple of other thoughts...

1) Regarding critiques, to me it seems like a bad idea in a forum like this where you do not know the other people nor do you know what their level of proficiency is nor their preferences in music, etc. maybe they don't care for your genre or maybe they are not qualified to critique your music! I guess my advice would be for each poster to include a small statement, like a sig, where you state specifically what you'd like feedback on (if any).

2) Regarding those who post and do not comment on the songs of others, I would have said that is not cool but then I read where several of you pointed out that one primary role of the User Showcase is to promote what can be accomplished with PG products. With that in mind EVERYONE should be encouraged to post their creations regardless of whether or not they ever comment on anyone else's songs!
