quote:
I'm thinking we should let this thread die. If you have no more interest in continuing this thread, and you speak for the majority here, then I would agree. There are three people here who have voiced their opinion against what I'm sharing, perhaps for no other reason than I'm taking time away from their dialog of personal interest. I can understand that Anders has spent much time here, even as a catalyst for selling his guitars. And this, I don't mind one bit, as I'm not here to permanently capture an audience for my guitar sales, which are so few now, that I have no interest for sales on this forum. I'm mainly into building about one guitar every 2 months, and these generally go to music companies rather than independent sales, with the understanding that I don't sell outside the US. So, my main concern for this thread is to give out information to help the art, pretty much trying to level the playing field for builders who are interested in the techniques I have to share. And I have a lot more to share but if the list members are not interested, then it would be fruitless for me to continue with it. I might as well write a book or make a video, but it won't be soon, and there is a possibility that I would not be able to finish out my career with much help to builders standard traditional techniques. I'm at the age past retirement and I have nothing to gain from this but knowing that I could possibly help another builder gain information that helps. And Anders seems to be offended that I would give my opinion against using sound ports. I have nothing against sound ports if the builder chooses to use them. My opinion is that I don't feel the need for them, and I gave some reasons why I don't need them. Even Bob Ruck has a opinion form to either request the sound port or choose the traditional build, on Richard T's website. And I never try and attack a person's character but stay with arguments, for or against a technical build. I believe this is the proper way to conduct dialog or debate, and it makes no sense to slander a person; in fact it's very childish that people can't get along and be polite, even in their disagreements. And this is not about passion for certain aspects of the art but downright ugly behavior, when most of our parents taught us better. I'm not here to teach people how to be more polite but to share information. And if this list is not interested then I beg your leave.
