No, Doug - what I said was not intended to indicate there was a problem. It doesn't happen very often that people take a music thread and turn it into silliness, although there was one this week. Usually, people seem to respect the music threads, and the nonsense stays away from them. I really think that the music threads are every bit as good as they always have been. We also get them every bit as often, but it's just that they get lost in a flood of partytime threads at times.

...but saying thanks or "great thead" (in moderation), or asking questions, is something that keeps the thread alive and shows that people are paying attention. Almost all of the time, the people who post to music threads, make a good contribution by their presence.
