I think this is a VERY valid topic. Sometimes.. maybe .. just maybe if enough attention is called to it, a manufacturer just might consider making a change. Ask Scott Yee about his issues with rootless jazz chord recognition... He talked about it a lot here.. He probably bugged some of the manufacturers about it too. opther arranger players didn't care about it at all.. Some maybe got tired of hearing about it .. but.. Guess what..? It became a feature on some of the latest boards...

Whether we agree or we don't doesn't mean someone else shouldn't give it their best shot to have enough people listen to affect a change does it ? If the topic isn't important to you.. there is nothing wrong with that, but to Dave, to me, and maybe some others it is important.

Hmm .. now for the Cubs thing.. All I can say is that I have this sneaking suspicion that if the Red Sox and Cubs were to meet in the world series.. that it would go even to six games .. and then a huge snowstorm would probably blanket the entire northern half of the country.. and then the temperatures would stay below freezing so that they could not play any more baseball for the rest of the year.. and neither could win.. Seriously though.. I understand the frustration most of their fans must feel, being a Mets fan in a Yankee world....
We did mange to win a couple over the last 35 years or so.. but.. we are always in the Yankee shadow in NY.. and we tend to spend our money on the most expensive duds in the majors. " the worst team money can buy" was certainly an appropriate tag for our loveable Metsies.
