"Dale does enough for us" may well be true, but creating a forum is the matter of a couple of seconds if this BBS software is of any level of sophistication at all. I didn't think I was requesting any monumental task of him.
Further, it would have been polite, and would have saved a good deal of jerking around, had Dale had the courtesy to simply come online and say "Nope". He is, after all, the owner of the board, and by now should know that I don't argue with his decisions. "Implied no" doesn't cut it. Moot point now, anyway. It's dropped.
I do intend to continue the "Whistle Tech Talk..." threads, as the spirit arises, because some of us do seem to enjoy them and have fun together, which is certainly more desirable than the sniping and bad feelings I've gotten from other areas. I guess I'll just have to hope that the flute and pipe folks will hear about them and jump in with their tech stuff, too, or take up the mantle on their own fora.
Those of you with the stick up your butt over this can now remove it, unknot your knickers (or un-bunch your panties, as the case may be), and rest easy. Your positions as All Powerful Alpha Male/Female of C&F Poststructural are no longer threatened. In actuality, they never were, but you were evidently too dense to figure out that a vote in favor of the new forum was a vote to get rid of me on this one. Enjoy the consequences of your lack of comprehension...
See ya around

This forum would include whistles, flutes, and pipes, and would be dedicated primarily to technical discussion about any and all.
If you think something like this would be a Good Thing, please vote "yes".
If you think it's a lame idea from somebody who's just trying to leech off the board, or any other reason you don't like it, please vote "no".
I would very much appreciate it if participants would avoid lobbying in either direction. "yes" or "no" will do fine.
Thanks for caring, either way.
