I'd like to hilight this quote, as it should be a basic custom followed by newcomers (including myself). I came here to learn, as Rob The Plant, and that's what all of us newcomers should be here for. It's far more constructive to listen, ask questions from the veterans and discuss in an intelligent manner, where as if we come and mock one another far more than is appropriate. This is why I am tellin geveryone blatantly, though I thought I have done htis already, that I am K00l. Sorry all who are enjoying his... um interesting personality, but it's beginning to get a bit over the top.

It's a bit unfortunate that the site is getting crowded with rubbish, but it's not so hard to fix, with some responsibility beng given to the seniors.

Plant, 1/3 Guruz, etc out.

You're absolutely correct TF8ts but I must say once again....He is 17...not...well you know!...and if these oldtimers aren't mature enough to suck it up and try to be an example to these kids, what does it say about them? We have had time to build a thick skin so what is our excuse?

I already posted that i didn't have anything against Rob or his Zeppelin thread.  It is some other people that come on here do not, by their own admission, don't like prog and then start flaming type posting just to get a rise out of people.  They can all go away.

arcer..

Hope to hear from you soon!

To be frank I've run out of things to say myself, but I visit this forum every day of the week, and I love it. I advise any older member of this club, to just back off from the forum if they get frustrated with the discussions. Write some reviews, collaborate in whatever way you feel you can with the archives, but DONT 'leave'

Please. Dont leave me with these kids..I'm a hopeless babysitter...

It seems people are absolutely nuts about getting their favourite band into the archive. I'm not making any comments about whether or not Radiohead are prog, but THAT'S how they got into the archive. I did that too!! I pushed for Roxy Music & The Crazy World of Arthur Brown to be included, and they were. But the old maxim stays true: Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it isn't prog. Just because you DO like it, doesn't mean it IS prog. I think it's a good idea that some of us take some time out. Things can get heated, and it's no help to anyone at all. It's sort of like me discussing politics here in NZ. The extreme left have really ruined the country, while the right or liberal centre are really suffering. Painful.

I think it's settled down a lot. Now would be a better time for those who left ,to come back, not for you to leave.

I know your name's Rob.
