Murray, I agree with you completely. It just doesn't take much to piss some people off. Or maybe folks just need to convince themselves they're superior. Wonder if I should start a thread "How many cruel assholes..." Nah.

Bob would have been better off asking "How many professional musicians," but then others would have been better off trying to understand what he was asking instead of gleefully grabbing the opportunity to do the one-upmanship thing. It didn't work anyway. No wonder this place is so easy to troll - a person doesn't even have to try.

Now me, I've made less than $100 my whole life doing music. One paying gig and transcription of two songs for a website.

Steve, none of the people you listed post here. If you're trying to say they're professionals, I think you're correct, but Bob wanted to know how many Mudcat folks were pros.
