We are all brothers and sisters on the great ship Cake. Please for the sake of sanity and the Cakes image.

You do me great honor by understanding this very basic point. It is one I have tried to cultivate over the years. I don't always succeed and I can be very argumentative but in the end it is this basic point that drives me. 

This is why I also like your post's Ben. You do get it. And I thank you for your concern.

John,
I advise you to ignore those chaps.

Specially Neb.

best regards,
mike

Mike I just saw this. Thank you.

You have to know me by now. What you ask is impossible.  LOL

Party time on the love boat again I see. 

More like the Titanic.

Once again John, I can't and will not speak for Jonbouy , I'm here because you are not willing to get on with a conversation in another thread. You said "What I would like to see is when a poster starts a thread asking for feedback they stay around to answer questions" in this thread, so I'm just following your statement.

No you're not. It was not in another thread but in a different forum.

The post there in the CH as posted is not a question but an observation. It needs no further contribution from me. You know that thus I have to wonder about your motives. And why you wish to take this thread of topic.

Come on ... my popcorn's getting cold.

I know you were not asking a question, I was, but I guess "What I would like to see is when a poster starts a thread asking for feedback they stay around to answer questions" doesn 't iclude you as a poster?

And it does need further contribution from you, as in someone asked you a question.


And as in you insulted a lot op people.

There is only one reason people may have felt insulted. I submit that it could be because it was truthful.

If it were not, had no validity then it would be a long forgotten post. It was in internet time a very long time ago. Further its one of very few posts I have posted in that forum. None of which have gotten this sort of response.

I am done with your attempts at drawing me into another subject. If you wish to speak to the topic at hand I am listening. Otherwise I will not respond.

Take care and have a nice evening.

John

The good news is that this community is alive and well.

We are lucky. I have noticed that we have some relatively new members that have impressed me with the quality of their posts.

I have written threads pointing out solid members that deserve some acknowledgement for how hard they work to answer question and how accurate they have been in their answers.

A new group has come along and they too deserve recognition for their contributions.

One is Rimshot another is Johnny.

They are not alone but both have bothered to post in this thread with some solid thoughts.  Thoughts we can all learn from.

The quote above brought this into focus for me and I thought it was time to let my opinion of them be shared.

In my view I don't know what prompted this thread but I see the outcome as extremely positive. It is due not to the long time members which I have many times noted their contributions here but to the newer members that make that quote so true.

With you Rimshot and Johnny we have nothing to fear about this forum dying from a lack of solid, quality and thoughtful posts.

I would like others that have read a posting from a newer member to also list them here if they were impressed by them.

Its not just what was posted here that brought this notion to me. Rather it was many posts from these two that is impressive to me.  Keep up the good work!

 

Left out again,hrrrumph.......self harm is imminent!!!


Kidding,though I've learned great amounts here and elsewhere, in the 12 months,of owning a computer,Daw,for the first time in my 47 years,and don't have qualms about passing on what I've put into practice,or long ago learned ideas,to do with electrical guitar,cheers

There is only one reason people may have felt insulted. I submit that it could be because it was truthful.

I submit that they felt insulted because you actually took the time to sit down and type up a thread insulting them?

"I don't come here much because it is rather depressing to be here any length of time for all the nonsense that permeates most every thread. Ones that might be interesting become a home of buffoonery for no purpose. All this will be on the net in perpetuity.  How sad.

The opportunity to enlighten to have an interchange of ideas and to further our understanding is being stolen by a few that have absolutely nothing to say, none the less, say something anyway.

An occasional funny thread with real humor would be a good thing but the constant droning of inconsequential verbiage makes this place a vacuum.

There I said it. Something I have been thinking for a very long time. "

I mean, that's pretty insulting John and it was a direct attack on the people in the forum you referred to as "here" (The Coffee House).

You're pathetic John, and the only reason Cakewalk puts up with you is because it's better to have a head case like you on their side than against them.

There, I said it. Something I have been thinking for a very long time.

ummmm...how does that work again?

Er........... wow.

The thread that proves my earlier thoughts

Of course taking any thing written on the internet as gospel probably isn't the wisest thing in the world and should be weighted according to your trust in the source.

are indeed a fact.

I can also confirm that I was indeed the OP of the thread containing one of  the helpful bapu post.

Clicks and pops or Cliques and Poops?


Throwing Grenades into crowded chat rooms,can be habit forming.

Anyway, as to the offering of advice… I think people jumping in to help kick a problem around is generally a good thing. Sometimes there’s not one clear definite answer to a problem, and it’s more about suggesting troubleshooting options. Personally though, I rarely comment at all on things I don’t have a decent working knowledge of.
