I think that as long as the subject is arrangers, soft or otherwise, then anything goes... and I've learned much from FLR's posts which have always been on-topic IMHO. But I also think that it defeats the purpose of having an arranger forum if the off-topic posts get out of hand, and that's is what is happening. Softsynths & arrangers are the perfect topic because softsynths may well be the future of arrangers, but just talking about softsynths or any synths that have no bearing on arrangers should go somewhere else... and there's plenty of somewhere else's to choose from. Believe me, I've got plenty of non-arranger things I'm interested in but out of respect to this forum's theme I'm inclined to keep my posts here on-topic.

The ownership and use of arranger keyboards is what drew people to this group and bound it's members together... I don't want to see it drift apart just because some people can't seem to respect that.
