Hi Folks – for what my 2 cents may (or may not) be worth, here are my thoughts:

- I have frequented this board for about 5 years, during which time I have gone from a novice clavinova hobbyist to a gigging keyboard guy (via PSR-1000/3000 and now Tyros 2)
- Without the SZ, I would have made some serious mistakes, had a lot of “hard knocks” lessons, and probably would not be half as far along as I am in my “new profession”
- And yes, Scott Yee has been a very valuable resource to me. Sure, I have to smile sometimes at his posts and his (over) enthusiasm regarding his toys. But it should be obvious that he truly loves music.
- Regarding the latest contention on here, in my opinion, when someone knowingly, intentionally, and purposefully attacks and offends others on a public forum, a public apology should be in order – otherwise we are condoning bad behavior by letting it go unchecked. If an apology isn’t offered, then the offenders should be banned.
- Nigel and his team have done a super job of keeping things in check. I WILL say thanks for running a great board which has been a terrific source of information, education, and inspiration.
