Squeak, I too would like to see you reconsider your opinion.
We are about the same age (I think you are 2-3 years younger than me), and guess what?
I have never heard 95% of the songs or composers that get posted/mentioned here. Plus, coming from another country, my musical roots are TOTALLY different from you and most of the guys/girls here. Jazz is just a four letter foreign word for me.
Yet, I find this forum and discover a pool of knowledge for every aspect of music imaginable to me. That is what keeps me here.
I am sorry to see you go, but if your leaving is something caused by a personal attack, I think you should contact Nigel about it and don't just simply leave.
