yes, I also found it strange that somebody would go off and create a different looping list.

I'm sure it's all welcome, but just my thoughts. But, that is exactly the purpose of the Looper's Delight list. It is here for the community to discuss looping, ESPECIALLY the musical aspects of it. And people do discuss that. They also discuss gear, because that is of course related to the music as well. But this list is definitely not only about gear. If you want to discuss more music, and don't find the topics here are fitting that need well enough, then bring up your own topics! That is the beauty of a list discussion forum like this. Anybody can come and direct the conversation into a new area. Just bring up the idea, and others will join in as they find it interesting. I think that really helps for building a community together - sharing knowledge and ideas so all the people involved have an opportunity to learn from it and contribute their piece. Going off to make your own sandbox seems like fragmenting a community, not building it. I find the gear discussions necessary but rather boring most times. I would far rather read people's ideas on music and looping. And specifically, I would enjoy reading your ideas! > -and, since there's no common area here in which to post audio samples, >posting there was an option where people could log on and hear them. -as >I >said, these are just my thoughts... But there could be. Nobody really asked! Everything about Looper's Delight exists by users of the list and the website helping out to build it. People contribute their ideas, their writings, their art, their technical skills, their labor, even their money, to help build the site and make the list interesting. These are people right here, all around you on this list. If it were just me doing all this stuff, there would hardly be anything on Looper's Delight at all, believe me! Is their some feature you think LD should have that would make it more interesting for you? Why not help to make it true? Bring up the idea, see if others would like it too, chip in some work if you have the skills, or help find and motivate somebody who can help. That is how Looper's Delight has been built! This is your community, here for you to create as you like it. There has been a long trend on the internet, which I find very sad. It used to be very much of a community oriented experience. People really did come along and offer to help each other all the time. There was a spirit of building something together, and actively contributing something. Over time it has slowly changed into a form of passive entertainment. If people don't find what they want, they change the channel to the next place. They don't see it as something to actively contribute to anymore. Looper's Delight is still a hold-out against that trend, but for sure I've seen this with Looper's Delight. In the early days, people were constantly coming up with ideas, organizing them, and putting the pages together for the site. Now it is very rare. I don't think it is because people are unwilling to help, they just don't think about it anymore. So here is your reminder, Looper's Delight can use your help! kim >At 01:55 PM 9/30/02 -0700, you wrote: > >So... another loop list? Why? Is Loopers D not enough?
