catesta Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 I have been unable to locate the thread Kevin B started a long time ago discussing upcoming RVG's. I thought it started out with something like "I just talked to Michael Cuscuna." Did someone delete it, perhaps Kevin? I was trying to find out if "Ready For Freddie" was on the list for the US anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templejazz Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Hey Catesta, Ready for Freddie is on schedule for the next Feb/March RVG batch per an announcement by Kevin about a month ago I think. I can't seem to find the thread either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templejazz Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Ahh yes, thanks couw, and props to Alan for doing a great job on his site; I was racking my brain trying to remember the rest of the titles on the planning board. Perhaps Kevin deleted it when all that GregM stuff went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 I searched all the threads in this forum and it was about a 25 page thread. It's no longer there so I think that when he got mad at the moderators, he deleted it. Too bad. That's a very valuable resource. Perhaps b-3er can help out in finding it. I don't know if he can resuscitate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catesta Posted September 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 I'm hoping Chuck or Chris Albertson could start a similar thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Well, its a really spiteful thing to do if Kevin chose to delete that particular thread. Or did he do it because of Chris A.'s giving him a hard time about "dropping" Michael's name? Anyway, if he did indeed delete the thread before leaving, I think it shows he has no intention of coming back. Because if he does, he'll need to explain his actions. In the meantime, I hope he and Greg are very happy over there. If he thinks AAJ can match this board for cameraderie, atmosphere or general sense of fun, he is sadly mistaken!

Jim Dye Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Wow. I'm really surprised. There was a lot of good information in that thread. If Kevin did in fact delete it, I have lost any respect I had left for him. I hope that is not the case. This brings up another issue. I think we should not be able to delete our own threads. If we want to have them deleted, we should have to contact the admins. Maybe that would make people think twice before posting something in the heat of the moment as well.

Morganized Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 (edited) Here is the information you were looking for from Kevin's post. What happened to Kevin? Somehow I seemed to have missed all of that. If he is no longer posting here I think it is unfortunate. I looked forward to his contributions and hope that he will continue to visit this board. Just got an E-mail from Michael listing the Febraury/March RVGs. He doesn't know how they will be broken up just yet but as usual, there will be 6 in one batch and 6 in the other. I just figured we might save some money with the upcoming Japanese releases. Here goes: Newk's Time / Sonny Rollins Sweet Honey Bee / Duke Pearson Ready For Freddie / Freddie Hubbard Never Let Me Go / Stanley Turrentine The Cape Verdean Blues - Horace Silver At The Half Note Cafe Vol.1& 2 / Donald Byrd Conquistador - Cecil Taylor Rockin' The Boat / Jimmy Smith Free Form / Donald Byrd Goin' West / Grant Green Right Now / Jackie McLean Breaking Point / Freddie Hubbard Edited September 9, 2003 by Morganized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Yeah, I was looking for that thread too about a week ago. I also figured that Kevin deleted it as a result of the whole "Greg" mess. I sure wish he hadn't done that - there was quite a lot of good info in that thread. I'll second the question - is there any way b3-er or The Fist could bring it back??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 That's a level of spite that's really lame. If he chooses to grace us with his presence again, he can fall into line behind Mny with an "apologies" thread as far as I'm concerned.

Jim Alfredson Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 And no, there isn't any way to bring the topic back. Which brings up the question some have already asked: Should members be able to delete their own threads? I tell you, it's handy in the Offering Looking For forum. I used to get three or four requests per week to delete threads in there since someone sells an item or the item in no longer available, etc. But then there's this kind of stuff which is pretty lame. Of course, it's too late now to do anything about the threads Kevin did delete, but we could stop it in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted September 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 (edited) That's your call guys. I actually had to delete one of these threads today. For some reason or another it posted twice. I would have hated to bother you for that. Deleted threads has never really been much of an issue in the past, but this time I think we lost some valuable info. I still think it would be necessary to have the ability when selling things. I also don't see any big deal in deleting a thread that has no replies. Edited September 9, 2003 by catesta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDK Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 I'll say once again that it's always a bad idea to let someone delete a thread they've started. This sort of thing happened all the time on the ol' Blue Note board and it's really disrespectful to all the other contributers to that thread. I understand why it might be a handy option on the buy/sell forum - Jim, can you adjust the settings so that we can delete just those threads in that forum? - but otherwise I don't see the big deal in just posting that an item has been sold. Frankly, I'm really surprised that Kevin did this. It doesn't seem like him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster_Ties Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Would it help further the discussion any if I were to threaten to delete my ever popular "Hello Kitty!!" thread??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Johnson Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Well, that's just fucked up. There was a lot of stuff I learned from those threads, and the DSL thread was instrumental in my moving in that direction. Waaaaaaaaaah. Cry me a river, man--get over yourself!

Peter Johnson Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Any way to retain the feature solely for the offering looking for section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catesta Posted September 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 It is kind of bullshit when someone makes it a point to delete threads other people can and do use for future references. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 Peter, there may be a mod to do this. I'll look. As it stands now the option to delete your own topic is a global option and not available in individual forums. catesta, I agree. And he only did it a few days ago. What the hell?
