Dear Ted,
Hi! A member such as Audrey Turner was expressing her deep feelings for her musical instruments. And her views are legitimate and important. yanuar-n was providing his point of view on the decline of the organ from the "perspective of political economy" and "power" (which could be elaborated according to Foucaultian analysis). Other members provide their personal commentaries on certain aspects that they observed to be present in this topic.
Just take one for example. Read Audrey Turner's entire post carefully again and you will be able to verify for yourself that her post has qualified significantly for your own criteria: "the real Forum issues and discussions about music, hints, ideas, suggestions, happy thoughts, etc. about our keyboards, organs, pianos, whatever instruments we prefer".
Furthermore, if you would kindly review the correspondences in other topics, you would certainly find that many of the discussions have drifted in unpredictable directions and migrated into tangential areas, whether or not they are cursory or detailed, technical or philosophical, and antagonistic or rhetorical.
After all, you did submit a fair amount in the fourth posting of this topic, and even offerred your support and enthusiasm as follows:
I love reading and learning from all the comments and suggestions that this Forum provides us, regardless of "talent" and musical ability, to help us get the most out of our KN keyboards. It would seem to me that perhaps the organists should have their own Forum; if one does not exist, perhaps it can be started.
For whetver they are worth, those are my comments. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the comments from all of you herein, even if they are not relevant to me.
Clearly, your views are sufficiently democratic and a pleasure to read. I hold you in very high esteem.
Khai
