What does all this have to do with the Disappointment of Tyros 3?

Nothing at all DNJ. Just like the original post.

But there are surly nice pictures of Wizards

Some of you guys really need to go back and look at your posts again. For Pete's sake it's so freakin OBVIOUS why so many here are either scared off or just stay as lurkers. Who the hell made so many of you on this forum "Judge and Jury" of the arranger world?

Spalding.., with all do respect your responses just reek of arrogance and disrespect man. Read between your own lines and try to see what either a lurker or new member sees. I've always valued your input, but I don't think you realize how your posts come off at times.., and how judgemental they appear.

The problem with this forum is that a person can't just come in here post and leave it at that. There are so many Zone-Robo-Cops in here it's not even funny. Maybe you'd see more participation from new members and lurkers if this damn PROVE YOURSELF WITH EVERY POST mentallity was to just stop. Every word you say gets judged here. You say something that another member may not agree with and it's PROVE YOURSELF.

I swear at times this place could put out sequel after sequel to "Grumpy old Men". One person says this about brand A.., then all supporters of brand A start throwing poo. Same goes for brand B, C, D, Blah Blah Blah. Give it a rest guys. Just let people post. Geez.., it's clear this forum needs a woman or two posting every day. Too much male hormone in the air. Rather than speaking as a groups (who clearly have years upon years of very useful knowledge to share with the arranger community).., you guys just puff out your chests and are always trying to one up the other.

Some thoughts...

1) It's generally considered a sign of rudeness or ignorance to use harsher language than necessary when participating in a forum like this.

2) Given there is virtually no "filter" for people to join SZ, its naive to expect any different kind of breakdown than we'd usually find in any other musical circles. There are those members who are always polite, helpful and stay above the fray. They don't push buttons for the sake of doing so. There are also other personalities that for whatever reason prefer to be more hostile, rude, inconsiderate, etc. Who know why they do this...its probably an extension of their personality.

If you take 10 musicians...even KB players you're going to find significant differences in their personalities.

All the participants in this thread, I think are knowledgeable musicians. However, personalities have gotten in the way of the original, long forgotten post.

To be contrary or "edgy" or whatever the hell you want to call it isn't cool. It doesn't usually lead to some intense epiphany. It does usually lead to a distraction that has nothing to do with the original post.

Think about it...Haven't we all met musicians we liked being around and some we wouldn't? Its the same thing here.

Most guys, given the choice will go out of their way to be polite. Others, prefer to go a different way.

Threads like this are extremely boring for most of us, hopefully this one can be done with soon...

No Eddie I wanted to leave that find for you congrats!

"Poo"...wasn't he a bear?

Oh, wait now....that was "Pooh".

Judging, admonishing, and belly bumping...typical day on SZ.

What I don't get is how a thread about nothing can go on so long. We're in our...let me see...4th day on this topic so far. Some people really have an adiction to their online personality. Honestly, is their anyone reading or participating in this thread who doesn't know what Diki's opinion is on the matter, or Spalding1968's? or Kingfrog's? I can't think of one salient point said by anyone on page 2 that wasn't said in page 1, and now we're well on our way to page 3.
Note to self: never read a thread that is over 20 posts long.
