Yeah man,, This board is usually alot more civil, when it comes to respecting each others opinions, cant say that about some other boards. Its good that over time, most board members have realized I have a sense of humour, and my occasional smart remarks are usually for humour purposes. Although, my screen name has had to be changed over the yrs, I have actually been posting-reading at radio-info since the beggining, and before that posted on the Mid-Atlantic radio board,,,, Which is actually the first place I remember seeing alot of your names. And yeah,, it is cool that we have people in the biz, like John Parker, and radio hosts like Dancerev, and artists like Jimi Lalumia ,,, who are actually interacting with regular listeners, and thats the great thing about the Dance Community, most people are fairly friendly. You never see Hip Hop artists, or big record labels talking to us, because they wouldnt probably give most of us the time of day.
