Why? the people deserve to get what they want, and to get it good and hard! :devil:

With best regards.

I try to keep my morals from getting in the way of doing what is right.

My moral code includes not responding to off-topic threads.
Oops. Crap.

No problem. There is no topic.

I'm sure that they will be much happier.

This isn't a big change for you is it?

Tell us something.: Just updating my profile after 16+ years of C&F membership. Sold most of my flutes, play the ones I still own and occasionally still enjoy coming here and read about flute related subjects.

If that is in any way related to your future release of a new CD, I want an Accordion / Didgeridoo album :-?

I.D. 10-t (if that IS your moral name),

Excellent point, but can't you can give people what they want without giving them EXACTLY what they want??? Do people generally have the facility to get exactly what they want? And, if so, why are they so pissed off all the time and with each other???

Denny, keep concerning yourself with horses shagging.

Pixxy, too late on the accordeon front I fear.

It certainly would be WRT my playing (or concrete flute making, I guess)

Forget moral duty, let's talk moral obligation. Or what the hell, moral imperative.

Besides, people only think they know what they want. :twisted:

(So say many politicians, anyway)

But FWIW, I DON'T want your keyed Murray flute.

Are you talking about the delusion of entitlement? i.e. people believe they are entitled to get what they want, the musician believes he is entitled to only give what he wants to give, etc.

Cathy...Ouch :o

Anybody would think we were born with morals.

I, of course, developed mine through years of rigourous religious training with a well swung metre rule. Oh, Sweet Education: distroyer of hopes, bringer of mediocrity.

FWIW= 2800 Euros, abstractly speaking.

Best,
