And now it's a race to see who gets to Senior Member status first!!! Will it be Jodi, with her bright, cheery, helpful posts that make her the Mary Pickford of the Forum, or will it be Cork, The Barbarian, with his caustic humor utterly devoid of soul?
Tune in next week; same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!

You guys cheat...
You post on BOTH forums, so that's double points! How are we lackeys ever supposed to compete with that???

Well, Brendan, you COULD post on both Forums yourself . . .
Or you could take the mature attitude that this is not a "race" and that you aren't "competing". That your posts, though fewer, are more pithy. That true quality does not rely upon quantity. (Loser)

I've actually been lurking there around the time I started posting at the Pianist Corner, but the topics never really interest me because I don't know jack about piano brands/specs and it seems to me that newbies there are greeted with ridicule (or used to be...haven't checked their board in a while). There were also more than a few times when I wanted to tell that Leuhrmann guy off, but it wasn't my argument and I got more pleasure just reading the flames... It's almost like we're a seperate entity altogether, with a few go-between-fence-riders like yourself, Cork!

Very funny Burma Shave postings, wghornsby  Whoa! Each one counted as number 14!!! Can this software be THAT smart????  As much as I got such a thrill from getting those stars -- it brought back the feeling of my first gold star in 1st grade, and wanting MORE -- I think they are aren't too prudent. I don't like the potential it offers for giving people 2 or three stars. Who was the wise guy who gave Steve Cohen 4 stars? Feh! Everyone here is a STAR as far as I'm concerned.

"each one counted as number 14" this site seems to post your current status on all your posts, no matter when you wrote them. One more, wg, and you're there! Brendan - the new forum seems a whole lot nicer than the old one. So far.  Jodi

Ah, but Brendan; you probably know about as much about pianos as I do about playing them, and that doesn't stop me from posting here!!! The Forum's much nicer these days, I think, to newcomers. We only had a bad spell there for about eight months, and then the more obnoxious offenders left. Keep in mind that "in the beginning, there was the Forum", and many of us started there and stuck around because of the good people who post on it. Come on in, the water's fine. Cork

Ok. Maybe this is just because my little musical brain does not extend to the realms of such things as computers, but i am quite confused by this whole new forum thing. ok, not only this rating stars thing, but what is the deal with these smiley faces? and the thumbs pointing up and down? are we rating movies? maybe i should stick to chopin. I think he is easier to undertand! Oh yeah, and what the crap is a UBB code???

I think the 'Instant Graemlins' are fun As to member rating Brendan im not even rated yet, so you can always compare to me  . Aah, Chopins Etude in C#-, Op.10 No.4 .. The day im skilled enough to play pieces like that I'll personally send a bottle of champagne to all of you !

Brendan,
You've had me thinking about the rating system ever since your original post. I've decided that I really don't care for it, so I've turned mine off.
See how influential you are?

You know what, you're right. I'm turning mine off too. It could be a bit of a vehicle for trolls and malcontents to get at people anonymously (some awful person must have given Steve Cohen a 1 or something to make his weighted average 4  ). That was awfully unfair.
