There are a lot of interesting opinions out there and this forum would be richer if they were aired here, on a more regular basis.
Hats off to Andy, for the dedication and time taken to produce a very valuable resource for all TD fans!
Forums are niche places, some like them, some never see the point, some loathe them...divide that niche into 3 or 4 smaller (and smaller) forums and I'm amazed anybody posts at all.
I understand some people are reticent. After all, it was Mrs. Hobo who actually enlisted me on the forum. I thought I didn't have anything to say, but as you've all discovered, I have rather too much to say!
Reticent is a good word, and it sometimes borders on apathy, but hey that's how some people are, it's down to every one to decide what being a fan means to them...some get involved and do as much as they can (like Colin and Chris): who I admire for ALL of their hard work I should add), whilst others buy all the back catalogue, see dozens of gigs but never get involved with the internet/message boards and forums. You can't say one or the other is the correct way, it's personal, just like appreciating music. If 'we' all went with the crowd, then chances are we wouldn't have even heard of TD in the first place.
One thing stands higher than anything else, find music you love...and then play it.
