Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

That was only a matter of time. All the coaxing in the world couldn't get the fluters to post in the whistle forum...

How's that for flaming? :D

I don't think there's nearly as much bile over here as over there.

Of course, I could be proven wrong.

The political thread at the whistle forum has far proven to favor discourse over bile. We primadonnas probably can't stomach such level-headedness. Hence our own muck-pit. :wink:

I don't know .... it seems like a lot of whistle folks are getting flutes lately ... ;-)

Who knows where things could go from there?

Thanks, Dale. It's a tougher job to separate fluteaholics and politics than I thought, but someone's gotta do it.

I fear we shall have to settle for quantity over quality if we wish to compete in post-count volume. But we are players of flutes. Volume is already ours. So...

This thread is a bit disappointing. Whence acrimony and partisan jingoism? *sigh*

Criminy Dale, just start another forum.

I haven't been to the whistle board in ages because of all the OT garbage.

LOL!!! :lol:

Here's the funniest thing in that site, though (IMHO):
Americans must be able to trust the facts in political ads.

Isn't the whistle political/religious thread where the American Olympic post writing team do their practice ?
I am gobsmacked at the enormous length of the posts. If they have to read and write so much it will, I trust, keep them all out of mischief !
