I'm the same John. Like for example, Matt shared a few hypothesis type things he wanted to try on the forums. He had mentioned not getting the results he was hoping for, but I tried them anyway to see how they would work in my realm. From doing this lab work, you sometimes stumble upon something else that may be unrelated to the original experiment. Not only that, but Matt is a class act so I'd try anything he had to offer anyway....even if we both failed at it. :) LOL! But yeah, I'm with you...I don't just discount something from someone because they may not have shared a recording that sounds pro. It's all in the delivery and how they carry themselves that matters to me. Look at that Drew guy....I've said it before, I'll say it again....I don't need to hear anything from him to listen to what he presents. He's just a good dude that explains himself well and never comes off wrong in my opinion....and you can just tell that he knows what he's talking about. Or at least, I can. :)
There are several on here that I feel that way about. They have loads of credibility without posting a single song because they carry themselves like I feel a human being should. It's the guys that go off way too harsh that don't share or post up things that aren't very good yet are VERY stand-offish that get to me the most.
