Nice to read such honest responses to my message. Even nicer to read all the many differing views on the subject. All have validity, and all without doubt, have a very admirable trait of honesty. How refreshing.

One thing is patently obvious. We all do what we do because of the love of music. In the process, we make friends. We learn from others, both musically and technically. And above all we learn, that people are basically kind. And have no wish to be inconsiderate to others. Even though our hectic and busy lives make it look that way at times. We do our best to be well-intentioned, and that is the essence. - Colin.
