Couldn't have said it better myself, Chris.groucho said:Wow, in a lot of ways this thread showcases everything that's tedious about the internet:
One guy posts just expressing some thoughts.
Some other people take that to mean he's somehow prescribing behavior for others.
What in real life would simply be a conversation - or *exchange* of ideas - of course turns into some silly "debate".
I do think that there's a lot of speed-reading happening. In fact I've often suspected in the past that people rarely even bother to read most of what they're responding to.
And of course there's the usual condescending "fanboy" remarks. (I'm amazed the word "dicksucking" never appeared - webusers love that homo-erotic imagery) directed at anyone who recognizes another's skill.
It's all getting almost totally predictable, isn't it...

I don't think there's a need to over-analyze Tom's posts here. Sounds like he wants to make a change in direction in his musical focus. Good for him. I don't reckon I've met a single musician that didn't go through "evolutionary" changes like this, a number of times, in their musical endeavors.
