Now that the guitarist from "L" is gone, I'll speak more freely. It seams to me the dude has some emotional problems that are tied in with his inability to deal with technology. As I remember, he showed up at Y2K4 with a rack of new gear,including two or three EDPs, and he was unable to get it to work. He complained about this for an extended period and made a generally embarrassing scene. Then, as I understand, he left his gear behind and had to drive back again from Fresno to reclaim it. I haven't listened to L's music but I did visit his Web site when the flames started. He's probably a superb musician and he may be as knowledgeable about music as he claims. I for one don't care at this point because there are many superb and knowledgeable musicians in the world who are also generous and courteous. I'll expend my energy on those folks. However, L is correct in saying that there are many who are ignorant and less talented, and who may be more concerned with the tweaky side of the technology than they are in the "music" (whatever that is). To this I say "so what"? This list gives voice to a pretty diverse community. Some of them are brilliant and some are infuriating. I make liberal use of the "down-arrow" on my browser (I rarely actually "delete" anything). The only reason anyone can possibly have for making a big deal over the shortcomings of list members is because it makes him feel better to sling these insults. The only reason for someone to respond to such insults is because that person enjoys a good fight. >I truly love this community and I devote a lot of time in my life to >trying to do any thing I can to promote it.

A full measure of slack was cut for you at birth. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://salamandersongs.com http://ill-wind.com
