"I notice that I detect no signs of that, internal or external, when
someone like David Niethamer makes a post. That's because what David has to
say always makes sense in the context of the job of playing music, and he
very often has the exactly pertinent observation available (or more
accurately, the exactly pertinent *collection* of observations available)
to give to the person who is experiencing a problem. There are others like
David here; though, unfortunately, not enough of them. But doubtless Roger
will have something to say about my saying that too <sigh>"

Just a clip/snip from a former post:

"Probability and outcome studies show that those who argue often and from a
point of "you are wrong" know huge numbers of people but are without true
friends - rather, they have people they refer to as their good friends, are
name droppers, and attain positions of prominence, but they fail to truly
impact on the world around them in any significant way. Further, even
though they don't realize it, the people they call friends might not return
the favor. Thus, they remain possible movers and shakers who never fully
realize their potential."

Sincerely,
Roger Garrett
