Nor do I really see any hope for you here on this forum, where the most successful people around here reside on the OFF TOPIC forums talking about their memory sticks and RAM--you know, the important stuff.

Yes, the cheerful, quaint and happy tone of this has no place in the world of modern music and I am afraid you do not have a prayer around here, Mr. Floyd, I mean Mr. Jane.

My best advice to you is this:

Please climb down off that limb and give up while you still can.


Dear Mr. Snide-r (did you see what I did there?)

I've been beat up a lot worse than this. Plenty of times. Sticks And Stones. Water off a writer's back. I tried the Off Topic thing. They just want to insist that everyone has to READ music. But they never seem to actually MAKE any music. Oh well. Different Strokes.
