Can I nominate Sean please ?

WOW !?!?! What can i say ??? To say that such recognition is not liked would be silly. At the same time, i don't do what i do in hopes of receiving anything out of it other than the joy of being able to help others out AND learn from others experiences / points of view. I feel HIGHLY honoured to say the least and consider myself in great company if i am thought of as being in the same league as the others mentioned. Even if we have disagreed about specific subjects at times, i think that we all share the same love of music and respect each others' thoughts and opinions.

Other than that, it is too bad that there isn't some "local joint" that all of us on Agon could get together, hang out and have a few coffee's / cocktails and listen to music / check out gear. Since we don't have anything like that at our disposal, i guess that we'll have to settle for this : )

THANK YOU Arnie & crew for making all of this possible. THANKS to everyone that contributes to these forums. After all, without the diversity of opinions and experiences that are expressed here, there wouldn't be anything to learn or share : ) Sean

PS... How much money do i owe you for this Brent ? : )

Kevziek: Do you know how many emails a day that i get ? Do you realize that not all emails always reach their intended destinations ? Have you ever thought that both servers and end users run into computer problems and experience glitches ?

Having said that, it sometimes takes me several days to get back to some folks that email me with casual conversation. Those that are looking for specific help in a situation, i try to get back to ASAP since they might be in a time-sensitive situation. Even with that, i sometimes am slow to respond on follow-ups due to trying to have a personal life, listen to some music, make some progress on my various projects, contribute / respond to these forums, etc...

This doesn't even take into account the fact that i also run a business and receive emails pertaining to that aspect of my life. At one point in time, i was averaging appr 85 emails a day that were work related. Since that is how i make my living, those take precedence over most everything else. Bare in mind that this does not include sorting through spam, etc...

As such, i'm sorry if your email got lost in the shuffle. I'm sure that there are plenty out here that can attest that i at least "try" to work with them on email. I might not be the fastest and i might need a few "prods" here and there, but i do what i can. I am sorry if you feel "slighted" or "blown off". Did you ever think to send another email or two or post a request for me to contact you in these forums "just in case" i was having email problems ?

With posts like this and having to deal with dozens of customers every day, it makes me NOT want to deal with people on a face to face basis. For the love of the "hobby" or not, it is impossible to please everyone all the time. Sean
