So am I! Long live the wobbly goats!

I really don't understand your expectations Pedro. The music was written to be listening to it... people are listening to it. You seem to have this grandiose idea that there is some special caretaker role that other people are obligated to fulfill because the music is important to you but I don't see why? Music, like any art or entertainment (and music can be either), is ultimately valid only because of the reaction of those who hear it. If its popular ebbs and wanes over time, what of it? It is ultimately the personal reaction to music that provides it value. And since it's a personal thing, no particular type of music is more worthy or less worthy (despite what fans of any genre will tell you).

We discussed hard and after that he invite me for a Concert but Unfortunately I missed this Concert easily because of my job and.... Honestly I LOVE PA more and I can't post and discuss in other music forums easily. My younger brother died in 2009 and after few weeks I found PA and PA helped me to back to normal life. I can't explain my meaning well because of my bad English and maybe its make misunderstanding. I guess, I will reach to 1000 posts in PA forums tonight and this is very important for me.    Awww 0666, I am sad to hear about your loss and also glad to know that you found PA a great place to escape and helps you in a sense to ease a little bit in dealing with your pain. Music is one of the most wonderful things life has to offer and sharing the love we have for it makes it even better.   Your English is good and you are a very nice and sweet person too.   Huge hug to you, 0666 Thanks a lot Kati. I always fallow your posts and I found you very kind and sweet Lady. In these years I tried to be polite and patient . I learn more and more in PA . You know, maybe we discuss hard or fight for our opinions in PA but all of these things are about music and Art. Thanks and I appreciated .    And this is my number 1000 post in PA!!

Hi Sean! I promise I'll be home soon.

^^ ahem.. not before General Ian leads UZ to victory.. I can't fight the Genesis industrial-military complex all by myself damnit.

I was pondering for the last two or three days whether it was useful to give a link to that thread at all

Not that it was a secret... it was in the main lounge

I saw it, and read all the posts. There were a couple of nasty remarks, but on the whole the tone was reasonably nice. On a personal level, I am too sensitive to feel comfortable there, even though I know quite a few of the people who post there. I'm happier here, and then I have other outlets, such as my blog.

To be honest, these days I tend to favour PE, the bottom line being that there are more interesting threads over there. Somehow the discussions there lead me to discover more new music (i.e. new to me) that is to my taste than I ever did when spending more time here. It also seems much less anal in terms of not having loads of categorised sub-forums and also not being too uptight about whether a band under discussion is strictly 'prog' as opposed being a band who might generally appeal to fans of progressive music (e.g. off the top of my head, there was quite a bit of enthusiasm about Field Music in a thread recently).

Something that speaks volumes to me is that there has been a decent thread at PE on the current King Crimson tour in the UK and that is in a forum which is supposedly more North American orientated than this one.  I mean - King Crimson, for crying out loud - touring the UK for the first time since 1982 and playing a good amount of classic 70s material. Unless I am missing something obvious there is barely a mention here!
