For the most part I have to agree with Don's post, but I want to make something clear. Most of the posts on SZ are good and just as enthusiastic and positive as the older ones. I remember just a few years back when Scott Yee got chased around by some of the others... no one's talking about that.

Now maybe we need an online admin, but it seems that we should always be able to police ourselves. I know we have a couple of "difficult" members who the oldsters feel ruins it for us all, but I say deal with them. They'll soon get your message and start hanging out at other arranger sites.

In the meantime, there's a great opportunity to breathe some real life into this forum if only some of you would participate in this eJam that's going on. Except for some rocky comments at the beginning, everything has been very positive.

I, for one, only want to enjoy what I read and hear on SZ. Bickering and pissing is no fun. If you guys miss the old times so much, then bring them back - with your participation. All the guys listed in this post are great musicians and fine people. It has been your choice to lurk or leave. It's now time to return.
