SynthGuy, coming from a long standing member here (joined Dec 1999 ), I for ONE do value your arranger keyboard & music related opinions, whether I agree with them or not.

Though I'll agree that there's somewhat of a 'good ol boy' mentality among some here, overall, the attitude among the membership has been (for the most part) cordial.

WAY BACK in 1999, when I started out posting here, I too was met with some rather nasty & condescending responses from a few of the even older vetran members here, but over time (and perhaps tenacity on my part) they grew to respect (or at least tolerate ) my opinions & posting style. SynthGuy, just continue sharing your ideas & opinions here in a FRIENDLY RESPECTFUL manner and I'm confidient you'll quickly gain respect among a select following here (including myself ). Welcome to the Synthzone Poster's club.

Scott
