don't worry; we're just talking, & i apparently misunderstood  your 
intentions.

confusion.

why, but?

if i started a precedent, that precedent was not meant as a personal 
attack, 
just my thoughts & responses presented in this environment which

the exchange of ideas.
i am indeed sorry that you perceived it otherwise;
i meant no personal harm.

while i'm not sure that i consider LD as an outlet for music, it is a good 
place for expressing ideas / information / thoughts, as regards looping & 
such; there are *many* threads besides this one (see the archives), and i 
think it might be the only net-place that is really loop-centric ---
sorry if you are somehow dissuaded from hanging.
