I concur. This thread has become interesting. Not in the fashion of worthwhile topical interest. But more of a multi-car highway fatality. This thread started out innocuous and without malice toward anyone, and has spiraled down to the level of Professional Vs. Amateur. I guess I don't understand the lack of common courtesy other than to say that it is not so common anymore. We sit in our private space and rail against people that we have never met and don't really know. I guess at some point in time some members have had the feelings injured and are just lashing out in retaliation.

In an effort to clarify the original thread topic. I (TwoNuts... aka Dennis L. Almond) posted a small 2 minute demo of solo piano recoded on my Tyros 2. This was to offer another manufacturers digital piano sample for members to hear without going to another website such as the piano shootout. I wanted to follow up to Frans G70 piano demo. I did not post in malice to say I am better than you or mine is better than yours. But rather to share another piano tone from a keyboard that many people have neither played or own.
Following that original post Donny was kind enough to insert a link to Frans original post of the G70 piano sample. And from that , this is where we have arrived. Very interesting indeed.

It really is no wonder that people are apprehensive to post any personal performances on this forum. I tend to think that the vitriolic criticism that can ensue makes other members shy away from subjecting themselves to that kind of criticism. In the end I believe that most of us post music on the forum because it makes us feel good. Pro or Amateur, there really shouldn't be anything wrong with that.
