Andy, your post is pretty drastic for a new guy on the block... Some of us have been here for years and I think that this forum has been perfect.

The name of this forum is "General Arranger Keyboards". Many or most of the topics that you bring up have NOTHING to do with Arrangers. Nobody has complained to you, as we try to be nice and hospitable. But now that you mention it, there are many, many other forums on the net which would give you exactly what you're looking for -- maybe you should try them. Here is an example where you would find yourself completely at home: http://studio-central.com/phpbb/

Additionally, I have been members of many forums and this one has been the best. This forum is a community. Many of us - especially the ones who have been here longer -- consider ourselves friends even though we've never met. All the other forums are so heavily populated that most questions and comments get ignored or are not properly addressed.

Once again, if you have an interest in arrangers, please stay. But if you don't own one, and don't plan to, don't feel bad to carry out your threat.

Chony
