I realize that most of us are friends... I'd be happy to see any of you down in my neck of the woods. But I simply feel that sometimes, we take the baiting and ribbing about the choice of arranger brand to the point of ridiculous.

And it sets a dangerous example for some of the less aware members, who have lately taken throwing personal insults around far more seriously, to the point of outright rudeness and lack of class. I know it's a fine line, but the way things have gone here lately, perhaps we need to back down a bit, and stick to the POINTS of arranger debate, rather than blowing up brand loyalty to absurd levels?

Me, I could care LESS what logo resides on the front panel of my arranger. If it does exactly what I need (or close!) I'll be happy with anything printed there!
