Am I the only one who got this right away?

No probably not. Other people wanted to rip my eyes out over that thread, too.

I thought it was pretty clever. Using the thread title against itself.

So I don't think it's possible for me not to post in the lounge. But I will make sure I increase my music contributions by a lot. It's more to do with me not making the time to be popping in music threads etc. I really want to write more reviews!

I will limit my post to "the Saturday 6 pack" (I really enjoy the questions as well as getting insight into everybody's great personalities) and "what are you drinking" (where else can I one up Fred with my superior taste in beer :). )

Ah, well I look forward to your musical contributions :)

Ha, fair enough!

You could include the shoutbox in this as well. As some of the hangers-on in there seem to contribute next to nothing to the music forums. Not mentioning anyone in particular.

^ I tend to go in there when the forum is dead, otherwise I don't spend more than a half hour in there. Just some casual banter. But it can get obnoxious pretty quickly.

I don't know, we have some good music conversations in there, too. It's almost like a free for all. No particular thread needed, but some good banter.

Anyway, this is all optional, so no one HAS to stay out of the shoutbox, and I get that. But maybe more people can come into the shoutbox and direct the conversation to their musical values and views.

I'll second this in particular. I was discussing The Decemberists and the creation of my country thread earlier. It was nice.
