I got a PM I will never forget

[jacksoncsplayer]

Right on fett!!!! You are correct about how we can influence others and be positive or negative role models. Glad you got your due!

I'm just so amazed about the PM. Hard feelings? Never Pushed out of shape? Sometimes.:ROTF: But not today.

I've gotten PMs before from people who never post on the board, but just lurk. That makes you realize that it's not just a few of us shooting the shit like it seems most of the time. That's cool that you had a positive impact, Fett, and that they let you know. I've had people tell me that there's no such thing as a real online community, but I know better.

[fett]

So do I. And that makes all the difference in the world. Talking real guitars with real people.

Hmm, I've had a memorable PM or two, and I'd just like to state, in public, that it is physically impossible to do what has been suggested, and even if it were, it would be most unhygeinic, however much Swarfega was involved.

Maybe this is more appropriate.

I've had the same. I'm just some schmo who's picked up a trivial tidbit or two about some guitar stuff, but it's flattering to think that some would look to me for advice about their gear.....or anything for that matter.

Ofcourse people look up to you guys. Most people don't join forums just to be aholes. We come to read and learn what we can and for the friendship with other players. You guys rule incase you didn't know that.

right. I'm making a note on my records here. That's one, Jeri. Big black mark on your file.

Indeed. I am perfectly capable of being one of those ANYWHERE!

[fett]

What's the point? It seems that being on the Web for some is a license to do what you would not do face to face. Maybe, the Web is a place to vent or reveal your real feelings without having to own up to it in person. My "Presence" on the Web is ME. I don't pretend. I treat the Web as just another place to interact. Just like I do in the real world. I am so very old. But, damnit, I'm right.

[shobet]

No you're not. The web is where I'm a 16 year old girl, or is that a 36 year old man?

[Rsmacker]

Perhaps you are a 36 year old man trapped inside a 16 year old girl?
