Hi Everyone,

I normally post when I have questions about arrangers or want to share new musical toys I have purchased or found. I have posted several times this year, only to be totally ignored. So, I find myself not posting at all!

I have found over the years here, that Synthbbs is dominated by money making performers and not so many hobbyists as in yesteryear. Nothing wrong with that. Times do change.

Maybe, many of you will pass my posts over for more interesting posts which touch on your professional status. This is not a bad thing, it is just 'different' than what I remember in years past.

I can not speak for other women here just myself.

No need to take this thread to a nasty level. I do not 'hate men' nor do I not post here because it is mostly men. I work with men all day long and I am never ignored. While the content I share with men at my job is different than the content here, it is still technical knowledge. Men at work respect my knowledge of the subject matter and learn from what I have to offer as I learn from them.

I hold back now on Synthbbs. Subject content here is geared more with a specific click of men who enjoy conversing about many different topics of no interest to me and have nothing to do with arrangers.

Instead of commenting on mine or Elizabeth's explanation of why women do not post, try taking a look at the subject matter posted by men who post here. How could the subject matter include a more overall group of people with arranger interests other than professionals? Could it be that it is not a 'women' issue and possibly a mans issue?

Maybe this thread is a good way for the male members to review their recent postings and see how they could include the hobbyists that lurk in the shadows?

Hmmm....

Thanks for reading!
