I think you've said more since you "backed away" from the fora than you did BEFORE you backed away.

Nice to see your posts, Dale!

Dale,

Yeah, we're positively mild in this forum

I can start throwing mud about if that's what really needed.

I like this forum because:

1) It's mainly on topic. OT threads are fine in moderation, but too many and they kill the purpose of the forum. When the flute questions become lost in the noise, the forum dies.

2) Folks are alway pleasant, sometimes with a wink and a nod, and helpful.

So thanks for answering all my potentially obvious questions over the past couple years.

Apple polishers! Teacher's pets!

Wait til the pipers get you out on the playground...

Yeah, but how many 1K posters do you have over here? That has to be worth something...... doesn't it? :roll:

I lurk on this board everyday because it's so good.

I learned to play the flute in this forum by lurking and reading then trying what read from those that posted good and sincere information and knowledge and good questions. It's peaceful over here!

Thanks Dale for visiting!

Steven,

it's the LACK of 1K posters on the flute board that is important. I mean, we're not just a bunch of whistlers and pipers here - we're flautists. Each and every post is pithy and highly substantive...except perhaps for this one.

*Please take this post for what it really is - meaningless drivel like the stuff flowing out of the end of a flute, perhaps into your glass if you leave it within my aim...guess who's feeling sleep deprived today?

Mmmmmmm, flautas with guacamole...

Oh, wait, flautists? Y'mean those snooty people always acting better'n everyone?

Never mind.

Next person that calls me a flautist gets it square in the gob. I'm a fluter, and a flute player when I'm dressed up.

Empty words, Pat. I can just see a gang of menacing pipers strapped in and waddling about, wary of each other's space, fumbling with errant blowpipes and getting distracted every time they think they hear a drone reed come loose in the reckoning we cowering fluteplayers are supposed to face. Ha. Apple polishers? Go polish yer regs, gearhead.

My M&E keyless would make a hell of a good club.

You could even run it through the dish washer when done to get the gore off.

All of which goes to show that MarkB has only scratched the surface of fluting. We are, deep down, slathering barbarians. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Now now boys let's not go there.

Remember this is the good and noble forum.
