    Glad I got to see you in person a couple times. Thanks to Paul for organizing that!

    Those were good times, Greg. I just got around to reading this thread. Randy told me tonight at his Toledo gig with Gibbs and Rangell about the breakup. Joe spoke to me about nursing school last time he was in Toledo,and I never knew how imminent it was. I am now a registered nurse and obtained it at the age of 50. Happy working my 36hrs/week in a local hospital. Joe will make a fine nurse. Love the job and love the hours. I shed a tear for Organissimo, but life is about change. Randy was simply awesome playing with Gerard Gibbs. There is a second and third life still ahead for all of you.

    saw Randy play with Gerard Gibbs and Nelson Rangell this evening in Toledo. Rangell didn't seem to fit and the music really kicked when he took his breaks. Well, I guess he had his moments, but Randy and Gibbs were absolutely natural together. Seemed as if they had been playing together for years. Really enjoyed the evening. Thanks Randy!

    I do not think that BM's posts deserved to be deleted. I have little interest in a forum where comments are monitored that closely. To me, our comments represent our personality and the way we think. What's wrong with that? As long as the comments don't lead to personal attacks, I don't see any merit in rubbing out comments.

    So let me get this straight: we are not allowed to point out whether an item is priced on the high side? Sheesh! How about being allowed to publicly point out if we are cheated by a member who offered an item? Or is that considered offensive and not worthy of publication?

    I say allow people to say what they want to say, as long as the comments don't reach ad hominem levels.

    I'd be personally disinclined to publicly quote pm's.

    For my part: if anyone finds any of the prices for my offered goods is too high, then feel free to post your opinion. My skin is thinker than an onion's.

    I wonder whether a moderator needs to spend any time at all in the "offering/looking for" section. More than any other section, that is "the people's" section.

    Why does locking a thread always lead to some sort of "the mods are running rampant!!!! FREE SPEECH FREE SPEECH" farce? You guys enjoy a pretty unfettered experience here, able to post basically whatever you want on any thread you want, derailing things, posting "witty" one-liners, emoticons, etc. to your heart's content.

    All fine, Jim. But my problem is that one of your moderators has closed...what? how many threads now within a short time span? I can count the Art Pepper, the one started by Jazzmoose, and two from Lowe (ok, Allen is a bit of a provacateur)

    Let's just say that the trend is rather disturbing. That's all. No need to get too worked up on your end either, and I know you don't have the time to worry about this board, but if moderators start routinely shutting down threads, perhaps someone has to monitor the monitor. Might be worthwhile to see if this trend continues. I think this suggestion is reasonable enough.

    I already explained earlier in this thread why I locked the Pepper sale thread (posts 4 and 6) and the thread that Jazzmoose started (post 13).

    Well, I think you are too quick on the trigger, Hans. But that's my opinon, and you know what? I don't have the responsibility that you have. As moderator you have to spend a good amount of time checking out the board, so I'm shutting up on this subject. I'll credit you with that. You are man enough to take the job. It's a lot easier to criticise than it is to actually perform a job. So with that, I'm done with the issue. Hopefully, we are all learning from these discussions. :)
