Hi all,
B2 glad there are no hard feelings. I,m on a new leaf however in that I am biting my tongue (or taping my fingers together) until I have had to time to think things out properly in future! We shall see how long it lasts

Terry,
I get the impression you think the lyric to mansion is my own work? I would love to claim it as such but unfortunately I can't. I think it is an old American hymn? Someone may be able to enlighten me but I heard Elvis sing this a couple of times and a good friend of mine who is Elvis mad lent me a CD 'Elvis sings Gospel' and this was / is one of the tracks. I don't have the CD now so I can't look who wrote it.

I understand what you mean about people pitching religion (or anything else for that matter) to me as fact. Like I said I get an irresistable urge to argue the other way I am determined to cut this out as

a)...there are enough meaningless arguments in the world without me adding to them and

b) shortly after posting the initial response to B2 I recieved an email from someone who having read my post took what I was saying in entirely the wrong way. The upsetting thing was that they had me down as a radical bigot (AND WERE AGREEING WITH ME).

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am neither radical or a bigot. More importantly though it served to remind me how easy it is to write something and then it be taken entirely the wrong way. Basically that it what promted this thread.

Rattley,
ROFL.... I am definately going to take on board your advice with regard writing inflamitory letters never to be sent. Knowing my luck though I would press the send button by mistake....then I would have some explaining to do.

KN_Fan,
I think this board is cool too BTW I thought I heard tell a while ago that you were going to change your name?? Still can't let go of the Technics bug eh I was contemplating a new technics digi piano the other day but really want a Tyros so I have to choose between the two

SK880user,
Thankyou for granting your permission I am not too sure that I wholeheartedly agree with your other point but it is my new policy to give it some thought before I go charging in with my opinion

UD,
I wish that everyone could show your tolerance and understanding. I cannot help but be who I am (I know that some argue that it is a choice and I wish it were because a thousand times I would have chosen something else.) Still I don't want to get into all that here (I have just deleted a whole ream of explanation ) It is good enough for me that most people tend to get on ok with me and just ignore the parts of me they have trouble with....I think to some extent we all do that with everyone we meet anyway.

Don,
I pulled the volume of the vocal down (you know what I am like about hearing my own voice!!) I am going to have to learn to leave that mixer bar alone and just belt em out (About as likely as me headlining at the Grand Ole Oprey [img]http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/biggrin.gif[/img])

Thanks to all for your comments
Very best wishes
Tony
