These more thoughtful and philisophical disucssions about looping have been part of this list since the day it started, and are a key part of it's purpose. Check the archives. If the point of the list was just to ask simple questions about technical minutiae of one piece of gear or another, I never would have bothered starting it, cause that's real boring. Thinking about what you do and defining some purpose or meaning for it are important for most people, and discussing it with others is a key element. It's a healthy thing. Trying to put it down out of your own discomfort, well sorry, but IMHO that's a bit sad. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
