perhaps, im not wise.......but i find reading the posts on the list, both 
on 
and off topic to be a nice enjoyable respite from practice, in fact 
yesterday, i came to the realization that i spend a considerable amount of 
time reading these missives in total silence with no music 
what-so-ever.......and i wondered why........what i think i came up with 
is 
the fact that i play so much and listen so hard that i need a break, music 
is 
becoming like "work" to me, it almost occupies my every moment (this is 
good, 
i think), but if all we talked about here was the inner workings of the 
edp, 
the wonders of the jam-man, the glory of the rang and God help me, 
midi-capability, i think i would go nuts...........yes, we do at times get 
carried away with silly stuff but i feel that we are self-policing enough 
not 
to get too out of hand and we have the ever watchfull kim to keep us in 
line.........also, the delete button is only one click away........i hate 
to 
say it, but in my "real" life there are not any "loopers" i can go to the 
pub 
with and the wit and goofy ideas sometimes expressed here are most welcome 
to 
me.........just tell me to shut-up and i will...........:)......michael
