(Since Prog Ladies are such a rare and cherished thing...) Haven't seen 3F8's and FloydWright post in a while. They on holidays? Are there any other Prog Ladies left on the Archives, or have we gotten rid of them all already?   ------------- Marmalade...I like marmalade. |

I'm still waiting to find my hot brunette bombshell who enjoys a little SEBTP or TFTO or even a little Hatfield and the North. Where oh where is she?  ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Petra is all too rare on the forum (i think Velv is keeping her to himself Have not read much from Shrinking Violet either. And Lise (Hibou) is also rather absent. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I can't speak for 3F, but FW tends to post only in the Collaborators' zone -- the (then) prevailing nastiness, immaturity and prog metal bashing (as opposed to simple good-natured teasing) on the main forums got to her. I can certainly sympathize, though things seem to have much improved of late So be nice and gentlemanly to our few females, lads -- we need their perspective, and (often) calming, moderating influence here!
(In fact, I'm touching it now....) Ha! ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |
Most women don't seem to last here. I don't want to offend any of the "fairer sex" with this generalization, but females in general seem far less obsessive about computer use (and prog, for that matter) than we males can be.
, with one or two notable, idiotic exceptions (eg, 4th of July thread Maani bashing).
(Plus, some of these shut-in progholes have never had the opportunity/courage to talk to a real living, breathing woman before!)

The person who introduced me to Yes, Jethro Tull, and Rick Wakeman is a
woman. Maybe I should try to get her on here... but she's gone to
college now, so I probably won't see her for a while.

Ha! Thanks Sean, well i'm still very much around and enjoy reading the forums and more so the reviews, but ive been very busy with one thing or another lately so havn't had time to post much, especially as the site has grown so big now. Now Peter says ..but females in general seem far less obsessive about computer use (and prog, for that matter) than we males can be. Well try telling that to my family, i think they would disagree!! ------------- Don't hate me I'm not special like you |

Something has come up here too!...I've been floating a bit lately. Seems I'm in love... I mean deeply in love for the first time in about 25 years... its very scary.. and there are some very large obstacles... but this one is really it. I feel it. I'll be around tho... and I'm still going to the UK for Greg's shows in November... ------------- THIS IS ELP

I don't know if I should feel saddened for the fact that someone has roped in such a free spirit or happy that you finally found someone compatible. I'm happy if you're happy TF. |

Thanks Greg... I'm happy when he's here.. and not happy when he isn't .. so its a toss up! But we're trying to overcome those obstacles... and thank god he's a huge Floyd fan.... oh and his other favorite bands are Porcupine Tree and Marillion... so I'm doing great while slowly feeding him the ELP. ------------- THIS IS ELP

Alot of my own music is inspired by women...or the apparent lack of them that I have.  And yet, none feel sympathy, they just continue on their marry way, seemingly disenchanted from us proggers. Bah I say! I feel another song coming on... ------------- Can you tell me where my country lies... |

Guys, I think you need to attend a course to become a counsellor... when I did mine, there were 18 women and 2 men... I am also surprised that at the beginning of this thread, you didn't automatically think of BaldJean and BaldFriede...their knowledge is incredible, and they have added a lot to this site... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

Well I was aware of one of them being a woman (this is now very clear to me, that Jean is not Jean - in French). But they were not MIA (Missing In Action) lately! I just spend the whole day arguing with Jean - just to discover that she was also a woman. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Yeah, I miss 3fates too. All this love crap and she spends all day on IM with him, won't even talk to us mere mortals anymore. ------------- When you speak, is it you that hears? Are your ears full? You can't hear anything at all. |
