Dear boys & girls of all ages.

While most of the time I don't really care that we wander into other instruments (considering that there are a fair number of doublers out there), please remember that this remains a clarinet bulletin board, not a general musical instrument bulletin board. A couple of guidelines:

1) Keep the off-topic questions very specific so they can get answered quickly. I really don't want the "is X better than Y" questions on non-clarinet instruments here - there are much better places for those discussions.

2) Don't hijack a thread! If the subject changes (as it did recently) then start a new thread. If an off-topic thread wanders too far astray we can close it, but if a thread has two topics, one of which is astray, then we have to close the on-topic thread, too.

Indeed, I'll keep that in mind, as I'm likely one of the people this is directly aimed at. Out of curiosity, when a topic splits in two, or spawns something only slightly related (besides the most recent discussion of saxes, a good example was a couple of weeks ago, when a discussion of ridenour bass clarinets turned into a very interesting discussion of the various types of bass clarinet register key systems), what is the possibility of getting the off-topic/new subject posts split off and made into a new topic? I've seen users request this before, but never seen it happen.

It's a simple thing to start a new thread ...
