There's also a negative side."

I believe this statement defines as a rule the difference between most players I've met so far this lifetime as well as the general roster of this list. Speaking of which, on the recent thread of community, I wanted to say that of the 5 loopers I've met in person via the LD list over the years, none of them are still list members. Just an observation from my time here on the list, techno-primitive that I am.....
