Re: My farewell point of view

Stuart... 

Maybe one of the most valuable things i've ever been given as a tome...

Don't take ANYTHING personally.  EVER.

It's gotten me out of many a jam.

Never mind that I concur with Squid Loop.  But what I see going on here is 
a
whole bunch of community folk actually getting active and passionate about
their opinions. You know this list, there is a lot to be learned.  A lot of
different technical levels of expertise, a lot of different 'genres and
styles' of music represented.

If there is nothing more to be learned for you here or if you're just
getting tired of actually being 'on the court' in an active exploration of
your own viewpoints, I can totally understand, sometimes I need a break.
But i've enjoyed your input, and your questions, and your presence on this
list.   

Please don't unsubscribe or stop participating.  Hang In.
