I'm just wondering, did any of you guys hurt yourselves climbing over each other to light Carissa's cigarette?

Of course not.  Being a somewhat older and wiser aficionado of the fairer side of the species, I opted for efficiency: while all of the other guys were dogpiling over there, I just walked around the melee and inquired if the lady needed anything.


 (Then, also being a somewhat married, older and wiser guy, I moved on... )

SSSHHHHH!!! don't you guys realize that you've strayed way too far off topic????!!!!???  the ON TOPIC POLICE will be here any minute telling you that you can't stray off topic even when it's moved to the coffee house!!!

Good point Beagle!  Where were we anyway?  Oh well, ever notice that there are times with horizontal stripes don't help?

Hi all,

To address a couple of the consistent themes a bit ....

I am aware of parallels between microcosms and the greater population, but I don't tie my thinking to correlations so much.  I feel that smaller social entities take on idiosyncrasies that do not mimic the whole, at times.  I am a member of fora for ProTools and two other DAWs, and they are nothing like the forum in which I originally posted this.  There seem to be very quirky things going on.   I would say that each of us can decide whether a little spot like this is a good place to chat without contriving an imperative to "deal with it" based on social analogy.  In other words, folks should face up to courtesy, kindness and community here because it ISN'T the back alley of an urban jungle.

For those who asked, I am a music instructor, specializing in composition and arrangement.  We use ProTools in the class and studio, but most of the students can't or don't choose to afford such and the related hardware, so they use what they choose and I hear about it.  I use Sonar 8.5.3 so far, about 1/3 of the time that I am doing personal projects.

I got a dry private message from one of the moderators here, Brandon, yesterday, questioning my address and such via, I'm assuming, his ability to see my IP address when I post.  I spend about 1/3 of my time in America (Ohio), and indeed one of the reasons that I wrote this post was related to my experiences in bouncing between my homes.  Having my whereabouts/origins questioned was just another brick in that pile, if you know what I mean.  Next month I can post from Sweden or one of the other countries in which I travel and work and then the diligent moderators can get back to Sonar questions and technical support -- or at least addressing the content of a post instead of policing the messenger.

I WILL post here more, for those of you who have seen that as prudent and worthwhile.

Common courtesy is providing a handful of posts yet being highly critical of the forums demeanour?

May I suggest climbing off your high horse and joining in and rather than generalizing on the whole, commenting on specifics. Unless of course it is your aim to lead us all into the greater civil utopia our current ignorance blinds us too.

I'm assuming you can see things other than the brilliance of your own reflection when I say welcome to the Coffee House.

Now now. You registered with a US based IP address and a US based email address with a male's name. I think it's pretty easy to understand why it might beg question. I wasn't rude or accusatory and simply stated that your registration didn't match your location.

If you found my simple inquiry offensive for some reason then I apologize.

Yikes, Carissa is a 300lb truck driver after all
 
 
JB, you might have hit a raw nerve when you mentioned the sports bra
 
And surely a 300lb truck is of no use to anyone 
 
 
 

I think at this point we would all like to see Obama's Trump's Bapu's Carissa's birth certificate.
