This thread has the potential to generate some 'not-so-positive' vibes.
Richard is asking for suggestions on how the forum might be improved.
That is laudable, especially as it is a well-working free resource for anyone who wishes to use it.
It is what we, the members, make of it.
(Suggestions for improvements are not the same as complaints about the current state.)
@ Clint:
I'm sorry if my comment came across as a jibe- that was not my intention. I have a tendency to tease people in a humorous way, but never to hurt. I misjudge sometimes.
I hope 'I'll stand down' refers to this discussion rather than the forum as I enjoy your contributions more than most.
@ Toby:
Easy for you to say- you have a really cool Easy Rider avatar

(Aaargh... I just did it again!)
@ Stitch (& glpguitar):
You're an 'old-timer' stalwart here on the forum and must have seen so many of us beginners come and go. I appreciate the time you take to help others (I found the alternate base line picking advise you gave me last week really useful. Thanks).
We're not lazy or looking to create work for Justin and the Mods (name for a band there?), just trying to be helpful.
I see this analogous to living in a lovely house and someone says: "Honey, do you think we should redecorate the living room?"
- Great idea, what themes will we go with?
- Oh, I don't know, maybe repaint that flaking wall?
- No way, I really love it the way it is. What a waste of time, effort and money!
Take your pick- I'm closer to 3 than 2
