Hi Alan!

What a lovely and gracious note! Thank you.

Yeah I've been getting beat up a little around here lately. Especially when the rules say make one entry per song. I'm still curious why I got called called out and another member (with a lot more experience) did the same thing as I did on the same day (3 song posted within a minute or two) and not a peep out of the guys who took me to task.

My conduct on this board has also been called into question regarding being a "full participant" whatever that's supposed to mean. I put songs on this board strictly for the entertainment of the listener. If I'm asking people for 3 or 4 minutes of their time I feel it's my obligation to give them something of value for that time. I don't post incomplete songs or vocals with bad intonation, I feel I owe them better. I'm the type of person that's very uncomfortable being critical of other people's art who I don't know. The times I felt it helpful to make a "downer" comment meant to help them, I did so privately so as not to embarrass the poster publicly. I guess the forum police missed those.

Sorry for the rant my friend, but now seemed as good a time as any to respond to my critics. (I won't do this to you again!)
