John,

In your post "To all who frequent this forum" I assume you were referring to my post to Ted Rose, in this thread. If this is the case, I would make the following comments :

Your Quote : " 1-Help people who have asked." I have always endeavoured to help fellow members of the forum in any way I can. My website was constructed mainly to provide information about the use of our wonderful KN7000 and the response I have had over the years, would indicate that it has done just that.

Your Quote : " My purpose is not just to answer one person’s question but to make it available to everyone. If are directed to another place for your answers the rest of us will lose. The personal touch and interaction from all whether by posting or reading diminishes, and so does this forum. It would be easy to e-mail information to those who ask leaving all others out. Then what have I accomplished???"

If a question is asked on the forum and the required information is already available on my website, then it is freely accessible to all, so there is little point in repeating it on this forum. Ted asked for help on sequencing, so it seemed sensible to direct him to a tutorial which already exists. The fact that I directed him to the tutorial in no way precludes any other reader of the post, from accessing the tutorial. If a member does visit my website - as a result of an initial post on this forum - to access a particular file and then raises further questions, I always try to respond on the forum, so that it does not exclude others. However, if they choose to contact me by email with questions or specific points, then I will naturally respond directly via email.
I cannot understand your thinking behind your comment : Quote : "If are directed to another place for your answers the rest of us will lose. Anyone can follow the link to my website, or indeed, any other referenced website.

Having had several communications with Ted in the past, I know that he does not read music or chords - as he said in his post - he is "strictly an 'ear-player' with no musical background" so there is little point in telling him to use a lead sheet. Ted asked "why don't you, and any others with the ability to "sequence," give some thought to sharing some of your ideas with the rest of us?" - That is precisely what I did!
