Jason,

I'll apologize up front if I got you wrong but it looks to me like you are trying to use this forum to promote your "wedding business", so why don't you just come out and say, "Hey I sell wedding favors, anyone getting married"?

Just a heads up, there are many of us on this forum who own our own businesses and have never used the forum to promote them. I am just saying some here have post well into the thousands and I could not even guess what business they are in, except the music business. And here you are on your 1st and 2nd post offering two links to your non-music business, without a word about PG Music Products. Just saying I might have been born yesterday, but it was “early yesterday” i.e., if it looks like spam and taste like spam etc.

With this in mind and getting this back to a music topic, am I the only musician here who hates to play weddings? In fact my t-shirts say Music for Almost All Occasions, I Don’t Play Weddings!

And since I am for every business succeeding I'll close with . . . Best of luck to you!

Later,

JasonOne, welcome to the forum! You will get a lot of help here

Concerning the matter of your self-promotion here, I can't believe that is what you are trying to achieve because how can you play / perform gigs all over the world? This forum is INTERNATIONAL.

JasonOne find a likely and local venue to self-publish and if you can deliver what you offer then I am sure you will be a big success (particularly with PG Music software!).

NOI - I misunderstood what was happening and jumped the wrong way without thinking first.

This post has now been edited to reflect that change of view.

What did I miss here. Unless the post has been doctored the only mention of weddings is in the signature.

How is that different from your signature link that leads to your promotional site complete with calender and contact information?

Well put. I agree and have edited my earlier post accordingly

BTW, what exactly is a 'Wedding Favor' in any case? I don't know this term and it certainly doesn't make sense to me as an Englishman

If JasonOne's aim is to promote his 'wedding favors' business (I have no clue either, Sam) then it's a fairly random way of going about it.

What is known about the demographics of the users on this forum?

I would say he needs all the help he can get!!

Does the term droit du seigneur mean anything to you . . . ?

Like I said up front, if I am wrong I apologized up front, but at this point in time I stand by my first observation as I feel these two post were all about promoting another website and the business it represents. And that was before I read his bio: Jason Hennessey is the President of 1weddingsource.com, a wedding planning directory that caters to all the needs of every bride in the USA. The site is filled with useful information and wedding favors for every bride and grooms taste.

So I am further summarizing that Jason has already gotten quite a bit of publicity for his "Wedding Source" business on this thread alone. Sad news is that to many of us are just too old to even be thinking of getting married. Or we have all done it enough times to have learned our lessons.

How is that different than me promoting my own music site? Well for one mine is a "music site" and secondly my site is not for profit.

Again if I am wrong I apologize but if it smells and taste like spam, hey just put it on a sandwich.

Later,

+ 1 Danny. Interesting as well . . . Jason, why have we not heard from you???
By now I think I'd be jumping in defending myself, or telling us to take a hike.
Do you even own the software?
