Also DEFINITELY not looking to pick a fight, and I debated a long time before posting this because I'm really not one to 'stir the pot' ... but I really tried to look at this while taking the 'personalities' out of the equation... And I am NOT writing in defense of Donny, as he and I have had our disagreements - perhaps just not in a public forum - but I am just writing about what others have done from time to time ... I have come to these thoughts: 1) I did not see anywhere in his post that Donny was 'comparing' his version to Jim's ... I've always felt that when Donny posted a vocal, he was showcasing his vocal talent and how it connected the the sounds of whatever KB he had at the time, and as he has said many, many times -using all the tools available - ... 2) as for posting a different version of a song in the same thread as Jim's - I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the number of times that has been done - with no mal-intent - by any number of the people on this board who I truly respect as musicians and vocalists - and I NEVER recall ANYONE being called out on it ... usually the comments were in the line of "thanks for posting, nice to hear a different version..." So why don't we ALL take a step back, take a DEEP breath, and when we write a post, read it, re-read it and re-read it again, and then EDIT it as necessary ... Otherwise we will become like today's athletes who go banging helmets into another player's head, or spitting in their face ... And Fran, it's not technic, but technique ... Just Sayin' ...   (from The Spelling Police)

I get my shortcuts from that mediocre keyboard company Technic | Definition of Technic by Merriam-Webster https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/technicJun 14, 2017 · Technic definition is - technique. Recent Examples on the Web Until that time, many users will continue to experience the technics of everyday life as bewildering, overwhelming, even hostile. — Longreads, "A Sociology of the Smartphone," 14 June 2017 This opera is made out of an entirely new musical technic. . . — Russell Platt, The New Yorker, …
