I haven’t been on here long enough to really note different people’s personalities and what they might or might not do…I just kinda flit in and out when I have the time to check things out. Glad no one was serious about it!

Mat, count my serious reply as an exercise in erring on the side of gullibility.
Now, where’s that puff pastry I squirrelled away in the freezer?
I too find I am gullible.
Please don’t sell me any more bridges or cheesy-flutes.

My hat’s off then, normally I’m pretty good about picking the wheat from the chaff. I even read snopes. It’s good to get caught every once in a while, keeps me humble.
I’ll buy you a beer if we ever meet, but just the one.

Don’t we accept or reject comments made by people whose expertise we trust? Don’t we trust other players according to how well they play? There are idiot-postings to this list on a continued basis. Many come from people who, because of the anonymity afforded by this site, feel free to, as Andrew would say, spew forth vomitus. They wouldnt do this if they were at a session where people could know who they are.
Wouldn’t it be nice to know how seriously we should take what people say, based on how well they play?
I doubt this could be managed, but wouldn’t it be nice? Or is this site supposed to be a safe haven for chancers?
My wife says I’m crazy to take seriously anything said here. She says all we have to do is heed the Four Agreements of Don Miguel Ruiz. And play more.
After a bit you can tell who is making sense, I reckon. Best
Well, if the occasional bout of silliness counts as “spewing forth vomitus”, bring on the Roman Shower!
david,
smart wife!
wow, the long lost 5th agreement, the hidden gospel, the missing link:
Agreement no. 5 - don’t take anything said here seriously and play more!
I always take my babies with a grain of salt. 
OK, seriously, out of a sense of personal “putting it out-there-ness” I actually HAVE thought about posting a couple of bits on Clips and Snips and then if somebody wants to go listen and either appreciate or deride, then whatever. You know, the old “take what you like and leave the rest” thing. And if folks did do that, others could always go listen and draw their own conclusions.
But have I done it yet? Nooooooo. Beyond being sort of a pain technically, it’s scary. I mean, it seems people who hear me don’t think I stink, and if my beloved teacher thinks I stink he’s far too polite to say it etc., etc. … but I’d be really bummed if Eilam thought I stunk. 
I stink, therefore, I think?
xo,
cat.
I still like sonja’s quote “Shut up and play.”
But do I follow it? HAH!
I assume then we won’t be engaging in pedophagy, then?
Perhaps just a little.
yes, as long as we stick to phaging only the littlest pedos no one should notice
Well, I’m glad this has circled around to where it really should be, back on eating babies. I’m highly surprised that Jessie hasn’t commented on this topic, since her avatar obviously shows her gastronomical preference…which is to eat her own progeny, which my wife assures me, is any mother’s right.
Mat - I knew what you were up to, and it was that piper’s comment that sealed the deal so to speak.
Swift would have been proud of ya!

Someone did once say that Nature is a real mother.

Hi as a traditional musician who is studing a degree in traditional irish music and a person whom has been playing for quite a number of years i am disapointed. I know you have to come up with some method for organising the forums but in doing so you are also excluding very real and genuine musicians who are not able to write music. I know this because i was taught to play by ear and am currently trying to learn to read and write music and it is a very hard process as an adult.
so with reading this i hope you take it under consideration when you decide what you are going to do . There is good and bad in everything but one thing i have found since i joined this forum is real help regarding my questions, and i appreaciate it greatly. So i hope you will think this through more carefully
Huh?
