"So long and thanks for all the fish" - nice quote Stephen, but I completely agree with Janszoon.

I noticed that you haven´t been around much recently, and I thought that, like me, you were probably busy, fed up or both. I didn´t realize you were so exasperated with MB that you were considering calling it quits.

From start to finish, you´ve been as essential to the FAIR club as anyone, and I´ve enjoyed our various exchanges over the two-and-a-bit years that it was running. It´s just a pity that more people didn´t support it ... which leads me on to my quote, which goes something like:-

"All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to remain silent." There are big chunks of MB that I don´t usually bother with, but I hang around for the gems; some great recommendations, and some international friendships, like ours. MB is like a party; you´re never going to like everyone there, so just find the nice guys and hang out with them. If you walk out, then you´re letting the bad guys win ...

Well, you´re a big boy, Stephen; you´re an adult with lots of other things going on in your life, but I for one will be sad if you really decide to leave us.:(

That's a nice list! Welcome :D

Uhh... You might want to take a look at the date of the #1 post and Stephen's post count.

Hey welcome to mb

There where times I left for weeks or months at a time because of personal reasons some which I wish not to discuss. And there were many times I felt like quitting MB because I was annoyed by a post, certain members, or this place can be sometimes. A lot of times I think I should flat out quit MB and focus my time and energy just on becoming a better musician. Even though we we're close MB friends there is a part of me wants to convince you not to go (I hate to see good members leave) but on the other-hand there is a part of me that can understand how you feel. Whatever you decide, I wish you the best of luck.

Stephen...you seem like a real stand up kind of guy, you have great taste in music, and you have basically been one of two people who supported me in my feeble attempt of a journal :)....thanks for the great suggestions and the great comment

hope you choose to linger and pm from time to time :)

don't leaaave :( :( :( :(

Dude, if I'm part of this problem, tell me, I will stop. Serious.

Aww thanks for the love. I have been sorta lurking but been pretty dead inside so haven't had much to say.


LOL Paul, sorry to leave you hanging like that. You were never part of the problem.

Sorry to hear you have been having a rough time. Hopefully things will start looking up soon.
