Why do people have to announce their departure?
Just go, no need to let the world know, unless it's a way to make a statement. But that you can still do without the "I'm outta here" post.

All this bickering is a sign of not enough going on in one's musical life I believe. Maybe the arranger community has become too stereotypical, one board is as good as the other one, and not much else to discuss. Songs are being posted only to show off peoples voice, because the styles aren't different to to anything else, and therefore not interesting really. Unless someone has made that style using one of J�rgen's fantastic software programmes. J�rgen does a fantastic job for the Yamaha Arranger community by the way, and you never see him bickering here. Because he is probably too busy making music and sw programmes for people like us. I myself have discovered a whole new world with sequencers, plug-ins, loops, live recording etc, and use this along with the arranger. I hardly have time to read half the posts here.

But, in respect for Nigel that keeps this place going, drop the bickering posts, and if you decide to leave, just leave and keep it to yourself.
