1)  it did conform to the subject - it was loopers talking about their 
looping
rigs.  the instrument one uses to feed sounds into the loop is a large 
portion
of the rig.  the posters weren't exchanging pie recipes, they were loopers 
who
were talking shop.

2) it wasn't a gentle rebuke.  he insulted half the list subscribers in a
patronizing way.  I'm sorry, but it's hard not to take that as a rant, and
it's offensive.  I don't care if he's the listkeeper or not.  he accuses
guitarists for not apologizing for going off subject, and at the same time 
he
doesn't apologize for his attitude or indicate in any way that he is being
facetious.  Sorry, Tom, but I simply don't buy it.

all the best,
ch
