Nothing to feel guilty about, Don, your posts are your posts!

I don't see anyone who is a regular user of the forum critising you smile By the way, you come up with some great stuff!!!

I've been really enjoying the song links you've posted recently.

All the best,
Noel

Where is Eddie anyways who started this thread, I haven't seen him on in a long long time, or Bob 90DB who used to post regularly, I miss his wit around here, God knows we could do with it?

Dunno about Eddie but Bob has had some serious health issues. Bob posted some of the finest music on the showcase forum for years.

I was wondering about Eddie, too. Last I heard he was getting to roam around the country in a motor home. I also miss 90dB. I hope that they are both well.

Eddie had mentioned because of optical degeneration he would not be keeping the RV and traveling. He had also mentioned that he would be on hiatus. I did send him a message to see how he was doing; but haven't received a response.

Indeed. That's all it was meant to be was jokingly bumping the post.

My habit?....

If my song leaves the first page, that's it.
I think my recent one had a couple days on page 1 and then it was out of sight.
That's OK with me and I don't think twice about it.

If anyone's song submission actually reflects a favorable consensus then it stays on page 1.
That's the way it works and I accept that....no one owes me a response.
If any do comment I'm grateful.
A song either grabs someone OR it doesn't.
If one's (or my) song leaves page 1 quickly....there's a message in that. smile

When I humbly thank people for listening I'll respond to a several by name within one of my responses rather than individually creating new posts.

But...that's just me.
Stay safe everyone....back to topic.

Most of the comments have been concerned with User Showcase posts. Once each year to year and a half I'll search through wishlist request posts I've made. I try to acknowledge the requests that have been met and bump requests that are still relevant.

I'm continually surprised to discover PG Music combined several requests, from me and other users, into one idea or come up with something even better than my original request. At the same time some suggestions are not addressed even after many years of requesting.

My "policy" that has developed over time is if people reply I try to give a general "thank you" once a day for the first three or four days, then, after that, I either PM the person or I put my notes on their newest song contribution. I generally do not give individual responses to each post as I feel, for me, that's extending the life the song thread unnecessarily. But, again, that's just me.

I know what you mean. It can seem like personal shelf space.

I post music, and I don't want to leave a thoughtful comment unacknowledged, but when I see what can happen in the "latest posts" feed I sometimes cringe, when what's scolling by is oodles of quoted praise followed by short thank you notes from the same musician.

I include myself among those thankers, so this is not to point a finger at anyone in particular! It feels like a dilemma sometimes, to reply or not to reply.

The private message idea is good. It's also always good (said the old school USENET poster) to trim quoted material down to just what is actually being replied to.

Hey, while we're on the subject, here's something about this forum software that drives me a little crazy.

In the screenshot, the words "but again that's just me" are by jptjptjpt and the words "I know what you mean" are by me, but the blurb makes it look like they're by the same person.

Sorry, I should have been clearer what I was referring to.

The posts themselves look fine to me, I'm talking about the "latest posts" feed that shows the tops of all posts across all forums. This:

Sorry, I don't think I ever used that feature, but yeah, it looks different.
Now I get it, after your clarification

That's what I use as my BIAB home page.

I assumed that was what put a bee in OP's bonnet, way back in the last decade: seeing that feed stuffed to the gills with 34 replies by one guy thanking people for liking his song and quoting each and every word of praise. =8^)

There are some of us who can't be here as often as we'd like to for one valid reason or another. I have a significantly handicapped and chronically ill spouse who needs constant attention - literally. So when I do get here, I reply to folks who have commented on one of my submissions over the past several days - usually in one or two strings of replies. There is no other way I can do it. Anyone who comments, over the past several days in my unavoidable absence, on one of my songs will get a personal reply. It's just a courteous thing to do.

Several hours earlier, I replied to about a dozen folks who had commented on my most recent song. This might be the only instance, for a while, that I can do so due to my needed time away from the boards. And I do look up songs as deep as page three for my favorite contributors and "bump" their songs with a comment/review.

There are so many fabulously talented folks in the Users Showcase. I want to let them know how much I appreciate the hard work they put into creating such a fabulous piece of entertainment. And I do, when the contributor asks, offer my thoughts on the production, writing, tracks, etc.

Thanks to everyone who creates these great songs and shares their talented productions. I enjoy them immensely - regardless what page they're on or how often they recycle to the front page.

It's 3:00am. I have to go give my wife an injection, and a few pills. This goes on (the pills) every four hours every day. The injections are just once a day, except Sundays - she gets three injections then.

Merry Christmas to everyone and here's wishing all of you success with your musical endeavors.

Alan

PS: I'm glad PG Music went back to the old way as a default but gave some options for other folks to view the forum as they please.
