Hi Folks,
as you, I was was and still are upset by the way Technote treated
us, but the terms of condition was not broken by them at first, but
by some of us who was "the players" as you call it.
Myself, I'm not any football player, so I like to use other words.
I've used SZone regulary for a long time, just as I am regulary
at Technote among several other boards, I have stated out high and
clear my meanings about what happened, but have not forgotten that
we really had a good time there, and that Technote is the place where
a lot of Technics related knowledgement still are to find. Both by
the staff and the users who still post there.
In fact, I hope that there will be some more posts again, and that
the Technics part of SZone and Technote's forum can live "side by
side" without this "*" in the name, and that we are able to cool
down the heat a little by do as Graham said: "... done are done
and can't be undone, but let us look forward.."
(You can see it in my open letter post here at SZ)
He also speak well about SZone, in fact tell us that this is a very
good alternative, so maybe we should look at the "invitation"?
How things can rise the temper, we can now see at the General Arr -
part of this board, some days ago, Yamaha was the one and only for
many users, and now, because of some restrictions regarding to use
the styles for up and downloads, and that the PSR2000 may have to
change some chips to be updated, there are now a "storm", and some
hard words are used. Even "never again Yamaha" and so on.
Again we see the signs of that "the ones death is anothers bread",
and when we are so many people from different parts of the world,
with different needs, thoughts and minds, it's easy to be carried
away, and then things may happen very fast......
Yes Nigel, "chit chat" may be important, and a little joke once in a
while does good, but when it's page up and down about familytragedies
and "my life histories", and chat among friends who may know eachother
personally, then it's maybe not quite so interesting for many of the
other users/members, and it could easily been done by e-mail, ICQ or
any other chat room around?
But as you say, it's up to ourselves to deside if we like to use the
resources or not, and on the other hand, it's up to the boardovners to
choose if they want us as users or not.
Kind regards
GJ
