Hi Brian,

I have no objections to combining them into one. It will add diversity to the mix which I believe is a GOOD thing. I will still only respond to a certain number of posts simply because I have a limited amount of time to devote to critiquing.

As far as the idea of limiting posts to one per day or such. I respect your position on that as well. If someone posts several in one day, I don't have to respond.

And I don't think it is a sign of laziness if someone doesn't finish a lyric before starting another one. Some of my lyrics will take me years to finish because I haven't developed the crafting tools or word smithing necessary to decide which structure works best for the idea I'm trying to convey.

If someone were to make a rule that I couldn't post another song until I finished the first one, I'd still be working on that first gravy song trying to make it work. Or the narrative song about my son's conception. LOL! Cuz, those songs probably shouldn't have been written in the first place.

Also, I don't think that having a song sit on the "first page" has that much to do with how many folks respond to it. If it does though, all one would have to do is bump their song back to the first page (especially if someone came along and posted 25 songs bumping theirs off). Surely you would intervene if someone grossly abused your "no rules" policy.

I like your policy myself. It puts a high value on a person's abilitly to figure out how to manage their own social/professional skills. Thanks for providing such a great service to songwriters/musicians. I'm grateful.
