No offense taken, I mysef was being unecessarily harsh.
And I posted before I had any caffeine or anything.
I guess the reason I was more upset is the ones that posted were more "guitar owners" than "guitar players" taking over the place.
Play what you like (heck, I like Mezzofist, anyone heard of them? They're the farthest away band from the Wes Powell experience ever I'd wager) but PLAY.
Don't lean up against the bar and pretend you're cool and then don't play anything because you can't. It's easy to pontificate from a keyboard though.
But this isn't about ME.
But what it comes down to perhaps is I'd wager that Mark was starting to gain what they call MINDSHARE - I guess it did look like Mark was an admin posting those things and maybe they didn't like that he set-up a "competing shop" (from their viewpoint).
(Hell they'd be lucky to have Mark as an admin but I don't make these decisions).
And that's a testament to the quality of the posts and the way they were presented - still, it was a benefit for them and if they don't like it I guess that's the way it goes.
And to show that I like "bash 'em up" music as much as anything you can check this out: http://pod.ath.cx/vg99/first23/Punque.mp3
I need someone to write/sing lyrics for it though.
Well, you gotta go where you like.

". The person who PMed Mark seems to have made the decision themselves, I'm guessing as a result of complaints from other forumites. It's not some official diktat from Musician's Friend.
