The Pro, you have shown your true colors - you are a hopeless and true SZ member.

As for OT posts, I don't see how or why we would want to police them. Some of them have actually been good. BUT, I agree that there have been an overabundance of what I would call nuisance posts. Maybe, IMHO the newer members just didn't understand the physics, chemistry and dynamics of the Arranger Forum pre-2005.

Again, IMO some of the new members seem to have a different opinion of the scope and depth of this forum. I found (find) that I simply discount those posts and ignore them. When I read some of those questions and see the names of some of the repliers, I just press the back button and look for something else.

JIM, in some ways I feel as you do, but I notice we are both still here, as are most or all of the other pre-2005 members. We are quieter, for whatever reasons, but we are still here. I do notice when a good thread is posted the quality replies follow.

How do we get rid of poor quality posts? DON'T REPLY is one way. Comment curtly and maybe the poster(s) will eventually get the hint. As far as moving OTs to the General forum - I never go there and might miss something if someone's idea of a useless post were to get moved. We have The Bar, maybe we need to encourage its use.

Glad to see you here; stick around!
