All I wanted to know was if people had heard from those 3 people. I haven't seen them post in a while and wanted to check on them.
This is NOT the 1st time someone has asked about someone in the forum.
Thanks for hijacking my inquiry and turning this into some BS. I appreciate it.

Trax, For my part in "hijacking" your thread, I apologize. But I'd still like to know who posted this under the name of DStumm: Quote:
Maybe it's time for another "suicide mission." It worked last year for a couple of months.
John?
FWIW, I started a new thread with this question. This is the second time I've had suicide come up as responses to posts I've made, so I'd really like to know who's posting them.
Sorry if that's an inconvenience to you,  but I hope PG can trace "suicide" comments. If you were the target of these comments, I bet you'd like to know who made them too.

I'm one of the few, a stage 4 cancer survivor. 2 months short of a year. I did get within a few feet of death in late May, but somehow pulled through. The docs said a life time of weight lifting and an extra 30 pounds helped when I couldn't swallow or breathe.
I think the ability to share technical knowledge with personal non religious and political beliefs is important. We are, after all, humans not machines.
That said there are vast differences in our lives. Our educations, our outlooks, and our beliefs.
I would not want to be some cookie cutter person from elsewhere.
I'm me. And friken' proud of it.
Put that in yer pipe and smoke it.
And I still want 6/8, 12/8 and more old celtic Realtracks.
And I still read 300 pages a day, and darned if I'm quitting now. I don't care if it's Greek, French, German, or English. I'll even do Spanish if I can get it. And I start at Gregorian Chant and end about circa 1910. Almost no good music since then, but I put up with Jazz as the best alternative, except for a bit of Lightfoot and Stan Rogers. With deference to a few 60's acts.

Is there an optometrist in the house? Somebody's having a serious "I" problem. And it's chronic, been going on for a long time.

Don't know where this is going...
Sorry Trax, I was also part of the hijackers. Will try to be more alert to post subjects related to the first entry.

The question was answered. The only person in the group I could have comment on was Russ, but I knew precisely what had been reported, no more, no less.
I guess it should be added to the wish list that the orginator of a thread can kill any comment in it. Censorship at it's finest.

I am sorry I also continued the Hijack and responded to JC comment.
I have had a couple of recent,Christmas time,exchanges with Gary about buying a new computer & also some issues he was having with some AD/DA convertors he was working on. I think he's very involved with his job at this point.
Russ was at BETA each day and as stated has a new hobby.
I've seen Ray around some.
I also want to say that keeping the Forum more technical or at least less volatile by not discussing certain very controversial subjects is my OPINION no more no less. My opinion doesn't really matter. It's Peter's opinion that counts & it appears that it's OK with him.These subjects just don't interest me in this venue but if some of you like it have at it. I'll just stay out of it. Argue all you want that's OK. What's not OK is this suicide issue. That's crossing the line no matter were you are or who you are.

Eddie,
I heard from Russ today, he is having fun (as someone stated earlier) doing the RC Airplane thing but also playing in a 3 piece country group.
Later,

Ok. 2 things: 1. I'm alive, I'm well, I'm happy.
2. Quit belly aching about posts. Life's too short to be arguing about trivial stuff Mates. Stick to things that make you happy. Me? I'm into RC Airplanes. I'm in a 3Pc country/rock band and having a good time. I'm in good health. What more could a guy want? I'm happy that I've got so many friends on Pgmusic. I also have the Alferd E. Newman approach when someone tries to tick me off. "What, me worry"?  My hello to all and also my 2¢ worth.

Didn't read the whole thread. I am here on occasion, but I've been spending too much time on Rimfire Central helping people over there, and getting help myself, much as I've done here.
So, Russ is flying R/C airplanes, huh? That ought to be good for him. I've been thinking about getting my plane upgraded to electric, but when you go out and buy a brick of ammo, and it's $90, and you shoot it up in two weeks, you don't have money for batteries or electric motors or such. By the way, for those that don't know, a 'brick of ammo' is 10 boxes of 50 rounds, so 500 rounds. Compared to what you'll pay in Walmart, it's about 4 times as expensive, but it waaaaaaaay more accurate.
My shooting mentor is a bass player, and I'm going to be introducing her to BIAB here shortly.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Russ, RC is Roman Catholic. R/C is Radio Controlled. So, no, she isn't what you think she was. At least *I* don't think she is what you thunk she was.

Um, ok. Now a Radio Controlled wife, that would be more than interesting. I don't know what I would get her to do. As she is the snow shoveler (Doctor told her not to letme do it), and she takes 2 bags of garbage to the curb once a week, I don't know how much use that would be for me. I enjoy the cleaning and cooking, and as she goes to work still it gives me something to do.
Now I've got the theme from the Jetson's in my head.
Hey Gary, how's the 'ruggedness' of Korg stuff. I looked at a ps 60, which has all the features I want, at a local music shop. It was $699.00. I used to think I had to have one with 88 keys, but I lost the top octive hearing wise, and my current keyboard, a Roland Rogers W50 is starting to have issues with sticking buttons for changing instruments. (I really only use piano/organs/strings.)
And the volume slider is wonky, I might try to clean it.
I have...................GAS.

John,
Do you mean the PA60? Should be a great keyboard, provided it wasn't abused by the previous owner.
It'll have all the features of the PA80, except the digital drawbars. As to optional features, it won't have the hard drive, but for the most part that isn't an issue.
Gary

John,
I haven't seen that one yet, but my Korg keyboards have stood up over time. I've had three of them now, I leave my current one on all the time, the cats lays on it, pushes the buttons, tries to sharpen her claws on the speaker grill, and the thing just keeps on going.
Sounds like a good deal, though.
Gary
