Scott,
I'm making an exception to my new "gag" rule because I think you and I need some TLC on this subject.
I swear to you .... I do not "needle" you.
I simply stated my position on a subject that I feel is very important in the live performance business. Your thread brought that subject to the front, and I chimed in to use it as a vehicle for discussion. Nothing more.
I'll gladly lift the gag order, but I want you to be sure that we're on the same page here. We don't NEED to agree, but there are many people that are greatly influenced by our words here and it serves no purpose if bickering and confrontation enters the mix.

I don't expect everyone to adopt my style of performance, but I DO believe that almost everyone can benifit from at least "hearing" about it. Guys like you and I bring a lot to the table here .... let's stay focused on the info and put away the gauntlets. I hate confrontations.
Whattayasay?
