Brian: thanks for the discussion...all have apoint to a point....I had tried to "keep up" with both boards for a while....there was very little activity on the first board....I felt I was "wasting" my time going back and forth....so I quit for a while....I went back not long ago to check it out again...mainly looking for a song that'd been posted about the time of the breakdown...still saw very little activity...I did stop and "critiqued" a song or two...went back a couple days later and had had no response to my critique...so I quit again going back to board 1.
Now, I think most people have come to "know" me as the biggest "support" for the Newer writers....I've even used "private emails" to keep them coming back....
Recently I haven't done a whole lot of any activity on the boards...for I don't feel much like it healthwise, soon I'll be gone a long while and can't....but I still intend to return one day and pick up being one of the Older members to try my best to keep the Newbies coming back....Now if they don't answer my critique how can I know that I've encouraged or discouraged them?????
I DO NOT like having two boards...it makes it twice as hard for me to "know" who the newbies are plus be able to keep up with the lyricists that are "ready" for "composer" work......
