Jack (yclept Jack) and moonchild make salient points. I feel like this is Max's place and he is nice enough to let me wander in from time to time and post something. I try to be respectful of that privilege and conduct myself in a manner appropriate to societal expectations and cultural values, although I may not attain that goal occasionally. I often regret that I seldom post anything here remotely related to music - fact is, what I know about music could fit inside a thimble. I guess that makes me and my posts one of the bandwidth wasters.

At the same time, I consider this a public forum, given that you don't have to be a member to post. So I feel free to submit whatever pops into my silly little head, whether it's related to music or not, as long as it's not done with the express purpose to intentionally offend, humiliate, malign, harass, or enrage any person, member or no, who happens to read it. I pays my money just like everyone else, after all.

Until Max tells me I'm not welcome here anymore, I will continue to think out loud, so to speak, and throw onto this electronic scratchpad anything and everything (observing aforementioned protocol, of course)I feel like working out. Others are free to look over my shoulder and respond positively or negatively, if they deem it necessary; a kind word or constructive criticism is never unwelcome. Caveat Emptor: my posts seldom have anything to do with music.

I forget how I originally came to find this place. But I like it here, and I may occasionally ask a music-related question or two.
