Chris -
This type of post should go in The Basement, if anywhere. This is a pro audio forum. Your post serves no purpose but to reduce bandwidth.
I know there are a lot of new faces around here. I imagine I am a new face to those new faces. I have been absent (touring, festivals, one-offs, etc etc etc) since around the beginning of April. This was also about the time the forum switched over to the new format. Things certainly look different on the LAB today, in a variety of ways.
I don't expect newbies to catch the flavor of the old board. It's gone. However, this new place will develop a personality as well.
For anyone wondering, the word of the day ought to be "professional decorum". If you don't know what that means, I'll be happy to illustrate it if you post something that either doesn't belong here or is improper in tone or attitude.
Nice to see the old place is still running, and while I'm not so crazy about the new format I'll get used to it just like everyone else. I must say I very much like the admin tools
I'll be around for a while, at least until the phone rings.....
best to all participants
