Yes my friend, but sometimes less is more.

I'm sorry Oren, my old friend, but I made up that bit about the double bass having more strings.
And now I've gone and used an angry face when I should have chosen one to represent my more apologetic state. Probably a guy with a soft smile would have worked better. Maybe this guy - .

A double bass doesn't have a chin rest. Oops, sorry again, I compared it to a violin and not a bass guitar.

You can grow flowers through the f holes of a double bass.

Yes - but can you grow pea-nuts?

What are you guys talking about?

How can you expect an ounce of a serious reply with all this childish clowning around. Maybe just change the name of the threat do people don't mistake for something actually about the bass. Cause.. it's not!

I've had my last two posts deleted on this thread.

It was for a typo you made a big deal about. It's fixed so I deleted your reminder. Didn't make sense leaving your post if the typo was fixed, does it?

My first guess would be that we're much younger than you and have not completely grown up. Secondly, what does it matter if the children are acting up a bit? After all, it's not the formula to the Atom bomb that we're dealing with. Serious and not serious can ALL reside in harmony in the same thread, and in fact, that is often what makes threads interesting.

I'm not sure what this means. Maybe a typo, a missing word or words or something?

One last post on this. This thread is in violation of the specific subtitle under the category in which it appears. The Bull Pit - "Anything NOT About Basses. General Topic Hang."

To me, it's no big deal, but if there is going to be as much scrutiny, censorship and control as has been demonstrated previously, maybe there should be a specific category for childish exchanges, but limited to adults only and labeled so that forum folks will know that there's a good chance for BS. Maybe that's where some of the threads and posts would best be done and left alone.

I've personally had no problems with many of the violations that have been ignored. In fact, most have been fun and interesting and yes, occasionally informative. There are a number of other categories where one can be super serious and that is fine for those categories.

Life is short - enjoy your allotted time.
