RE: Keep your opinions to yourselves (in reply to Guest)
There is, there also humour to break it up. Read Ricardos post(and others), he leaves great info and experiences of his that are a great resource. I was reading what he was saying about accompanying singers yesterday in the buleria thread i think, and i learnt a lot just from that. Go to the tab section for chords, theres heaps there. Theres gotto be humour tho, dont u think?

sure. i know that. i appreciate that very much and love your posts. I think without members like you this forum would not be what it is.
it was just a little bit frustrating when you asked something about computers. i answered. and then you say that why we talk so much about computers.
however, generally you are right and i 100% agree with that. This is a flamenco forum. Me myself will try to share more flamenco related stuff in the future.
But its also that i dont have the level of knowlegde which or some other members have. I thing i am more a consumer than productive. But i will try my best.
RE: Keep your opinions to yourselves (in reply to Guest)
just tought i should explain where i am coming from..
i agree but this is a recreational place, its not a bussines or a job, we log on here while offwork and in a relaxed mode at home with a coffe in our hands.
we are in relaxed mode (speaking for myself at list) been here 4 years I have seen every subject come up and go down come up and go down, i am sorry if i dont share the same excitments about every subject but its only cause ive done it a million times, anything u can think of has allready at one time or another been discussed atlist 3 times, (except yodeling, and monkies with mittons)
but i still love it here, i still like the people, everynow and than theres a subject that excites me and i jump right on it.
whenever someone suggests something good for the foro, i am always behind it or i try to be. i try to be encouraging to anyone, noone that has ever asked me for help for a loop or a tab has gonne unanswered (if i have it).
i dont just come here for the falsetas and exercises, i come here for the camaradery and because i formed a relationship with some of this members, and we all share the same passion.
and because i have known some of this guys so long i cant hope but think of them as close and friends, so if they are really happy for something not to do with flamenco and are that happy that they wanna tell me, i will listen, and if they are down i will also listen and try to offer some encouragement.
sometimes i go a litlle overboard to make you lough, because i enjoy it, i enjoy the felling that for a split second i might have put a smile on someones face.
if trying to put a smile on someones face is considered distracting on this website , then i couldnt be here, cause its how i am, i always crak a joke i always try to make someone lough.

and romerito, i know u didnt mean it to aim it at me, and u told me on the pm too, so this explonation is not for you, is for anyone who hasent been here long enough to see me do and give as much as you do now at this forum, wondering why i am always making stupid jokes.

Can always learn more though.
ofcourse, i dont pretend i know it all, i always keep my eye out for something to learn, and i always do still, i just dont get excited about the same things only because i discussed it all many times in the past.
but i still love it here
but by all means anyone that wants to discuss it, do, and infact i hope they do.
and romerito i think i said it like 3 times that u are a great addition to this forum and i applaud your enthusiasm to make this a better place, and u do, we all do in our own different way.

It never ceases to amaze me how people can say this is a free forum and to post your opinions, but if they don't agree
sorry forghot about this point u made. Yes i still mantain that 100 % it is a free forum, and people can express theyr opinions and if I disagree so can I otherwise its only free for them.
RE: Keep your opinions to yourselves (in reply to Guest)
and i think we should remove the rating system because whoever is rating u down is making me feel uncomfortable cause ud think its me and its not.
and it means nothing anyway, always tought so always will.
didnt think of this before but i just put it back up, not to be a hero but if u gonna lose any insigneficant points i dont want it to be because of this and cause i dont think u deserve it.
RE: Keep your opinions to yourselves (in reply to Guest)
dont get fustrated about it mate, it will happen slowly, we have good weeks and quiet weeks.
and people just go to wherever thers more hits or whatever intrests them at that moment in time, dont take it personally, i had and still have so so many threads ignored.
