I'm Geoff.
What are you getting out of AOS forum?
Why do we need to discuss and debate. I haven't been a member here very long, but I find the banter most entertaining. I think I may have stepped on one or two sensitive toes along my short path to date, but that's just my forthright character coming through, no offence intended. There is greatly (and great) contrasting opinion and comment, some majorly well informed! How are you finding your experience here? Geoff.

Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.

Aah the frgrant scent of Methyl Mercaptan :-
True halitosis is not simply a case of garlic breath or early morning dry-mouth. Methyl mercaptan is produced by bacteria, explains Jeffrey Coil, a halitosis expert from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. The nasty niff is released as the microbes in your mouth munch proteins from food and your own dead cells
So distinctive, once experienced - never forgotten.

I'm Confused.
What do I get from AoS? Mmmm ...
I enjoy the banter of the majority of the members but some members have a sense of humour (?) that leaves me cold.
I enjoy the free willing and open way that members are willing to offer their help, knowledge, experience and skills to those in need of it but not the way some members pontificate on anything and everything, irrespective of whether they were asked or indeed, whether they know anything about it.
I enjoy the way members offer to loan kit to other members to audition or on semi permanent loan, even though they ony know them as a name on a screen.
I like the fact that it has regular members from around the world that share the same interests and not just in music, just demonstrating that basically we are really all the same.
In short we are a world wide neighbourhood or 'local' community that coheres because of what we have in common and accepts our differences because they are so unimportant. In general a nice place to be.
Here endeth today's epistle
And I might be just as happy in a secure unit too.

Hi Dave,

Also, what do you think should happen instead, in your ideal world?I enjoy the free willing and open way that members are willing to offer their help, knowledge, experience and skills to those in need of it but not the way some members pontificate on anything and everything, irrespective of whether they were asked or indeed, whether they know anything about it.
