Yeah Bud, I am just thinking out loud and rambling too.

I see all of your points.

I guess what I am saying is that the showcase is a place where people go to post stuff they are proud of, and just to have a good time with their friends.

I just go there to ENJOY stuff, wave my hand, and give an encouraging word.

However, it might be good--just as an idea--to have a place where people gather for the sole purpose of examining a song for areas of improvement before the final mix or final take.

The danger area I see is the appearance of blowhards who are experts in all things, but have never posted a single tune.

I remember another forum I joined for about two weeks (you know which one) where this guy showed up out the blue spouting on and on about his superior knowledge in EVERYTHING and writing two-page manifestos tearing everyone down.

Then when he posted HIS first tune under great pressure, it was...well, you remember I am sure.
