I'm neither newby or old-timer, I'm here since July 99, and I don't agree with the Guest (whoever he/she may be) because we can't get EXACTLY what we want in a community, and can't pretend things to be always as we like. I would suggest him to try opening more musical threads, or to send personal messages to knowledgeable people inviting them to discuss specialized subjects, or just leave the site, but NEVER encourage other people to "leave if you are a serious musician" - that's insulting to all the rest of us, and I guess that is precisely his/her intention. I would prefer he/she TEACHES something musical to us. Myself, have learned a lot and enjoyed a lot, and am open to hear anything that improves my musical culture. And a pair of jokes too !
