yeah I agree ol boy, but wrangling over the internet....

Actually, a forum devoted to the use of technology including various virtual instruments like the vPipes and my and other developer's apps for various platforms might be a very good idea. The same forum could also host discussions on recording equipment, software, sampling systems, etc.

It would provide a single point for those interested in the subject to have an open discussion and would avoid all the conflict that seems to arise when discussions of vPipes or iPad/iPhone apps get interspersed with discussions on the acoustic instruments. As more instruments and apps are developed, the conflicts will only increase.

I certainly don't feel like I have a place here where I can talk about what I'm developing anymore except for my once-a-month commercial posts for fear of being assaulted by those who have no interest in what I'm doing. I would welcome such a new forum, it certainly would be at least as active as, for example, the concertina board.

Cheers,

Michael
