My opinion here is valid as as much others considering that they disliked the artwork the second last album cover I made  they comment while not knowing the artist was me reading their comments, this said I still like them a lot, they are very funny plus have a great sense of humor and I like that.   big hug to you

I'm using the same screen name on both

I've been on PE for a year and I hear where Micky is coming from. Vibe is different here.

Fair enough, I deal with arrogant arseholes at work all day so probably have built a high tolerance online, someone has to be really trolly to trigger me. I find most on PE fun, knowledgeable and mildly acerbic.

in all fairness.  I haven't posted there in many years. Perhaps it has changed.. perhaps it has become warm and friendly place today. It sure wasn't when I bothered to try to join into conversations there.

Maybe I am wrong but a long thread about how great Yes sounds live now--and how billy is a great addition to the group and nailing Squire's parts---and the group still has it---and so many people agreeing--would never appear on here I don't think----I find this delusional fan boy stuff silly---and I am a fan boy--just not delusional.

Kind of weird to hear all the poor experiences people have had over there, I generally speaking have no issues with people over there. The demographic is a bit older and there are experts in their particular areas. But I find the dialogue fun, maybe I'm as prickly as they are, I don't know. It's a smaller community and I feel there are several significant industry insiders, particularly on the avant side of things. 

I actually found out about PE about a year before PA, but I did not register as a member until much later - and then ended up deleting my account soon afterwards. This happened another two times, the last just before the PE forum migrated to the current server. As most PE members are based in the US, I know many of them by sight, but have had direct dealings with few of them, and as a whole tend to dislike the cliquish atmosphere. There also a fair amount of sexism there, and the nasty remarks about Italians made by one member (who is a musician) some years ago have discouraged me from joining again. That being said, PE is a good source of information (especially as regards US gigs), and this is why I am a regular lurker there.
