musiclover, (if that is your real name! )

The idea of calling everyone who disagrees with him "a cheap shot" is at the very least midly insulting to me anyways!

I didn't call anyone "cheap shots", nor did Notes. But a few are taking "cheap shots" at Bob.

I honestly do believe "music envy" is a factor . Most of us would like to be making a living playing music. We aren't. Shucks, ... finding a steady gig would be nice.


For the record, I don't own any of Bob's stuff. I did the same thing a few others mentioned and went to his site and picked out a couple of fake books and several styles to go with them and it was more than I could justify spending.

I'm not defending him because I use his products, ... I'm doing it because I don't like seeing someone picked on when it's unjustified"

Bobflatpicker,

I have been a forum lurker (more recently a poster) for a long time on here and have watched and read the different threads with interest. I honestly believe that all the posters on here are weill aware of Mr Nortons exceptional musical ability and not as you say "music envy" is a factor. Why should it be? I'm sure that most posters are not within Mr Nortons area and are worried that he is taking away one of thier gigs.

In fact I think all the posters on here are decent upstanding citizens and wouldn't stoop to the level of "music envy" as you suggest.


If I was a third party developer of addons for a software program there is no way I would come on that software's forum and criticise any aspect of that program because I would be wise enough to know that it wouldn't be the right thing to do. It is not fair to the program makers. I would feel like a leech sucking the blood out of the host that is helping to feed me.

As regards Mr Norton I am just fed up with the indirect advertising.
