Jeff Wexler Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I find the stats for my Discussion Group very interesting. In terms of shear numbers, compared to many other groups, this is not really a success. I am personally pleased, though, because the QUALITY of posts and the members who are posting, is outstanding. I certainly cannot claim that the overall intelligence, the thoughtfulness and civility we have on this group, comes from anything specific I may have done --- but I am very gratified that we all do present ourselves, our veiws and even our disagreements, in such a civilized manner. For some reason, most everyone here seems to put in quite a lot of thought before posting. I know it is a lot more work to really think before speaking, but it is really appreciated here by all. Thank you to all who participate (even those silent "read only" members) for making this group a success. As always, I value free expression, tempereed by thought and reason. These things alone make jwsound.net Discussion Group a personal success for me. Best Regards, your host --- Jeff Wexler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay Posted March 4, 2007 Report Share Posted March 4, 2007 Jeff, Your forum is my login home page in Safari. Quality beats quantity! I think your professionalism, humor, and dedication to a somewhat esoteric craft is what has kept this forum on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomholman Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hello Team, As a new old guy, I am not as knowledgeable about ramps & other sites, however; I think this is one great forum. Keep up the good work all. Best, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Hey Jeff, the way I see it, jwsound.net is surely not McDonalds. More like a neighborhood Pub, with great locals who hang out and shoot the shit about our wacky world of sound recording for media. Hey Bro, another round for my friends. As RVD would say, Cheers.

Guest Mick Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 I never took to RAMPS, the CAS forum was a little lame and Coffey's was OK but under attended. Why this forum has taken off and attracted the quality and quantity it has, is due I think to the integrity and reputation of the host and the viewer-friendly, thoughtful way in which it is put together, targeting us sound guys in ways that stimulate responses rather than passive observation. This site is my first visit when I log on to the web, (other than e mail) and I enjoy reading comments and suggestions, making the occasional post and a good laugh now and again. I think I've just repeated what everyone else has said...good job Jeff, and thanks. Regards Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisk Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Let's just hope Roberto doesn't find out about it. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Blankenship Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Don't we have a penalty jar around here somewhere? Anyone who mentions the "R" word is fined a quarter. I, too, tend to vist here more than RAMPS now, however, I don't wish to desert RAMPS completely. I think it still has a great deal of value. One of the big advantages this forum has over RAMPS is that we don't have to listen to all the obsessive-compulsives who want to get into long, drawn-out debates about the "charter" of the newsgroup when a topic they don't like crops up. (Nothing against obsessive-compulsives, mind you, I just think all that energy can be channeled better -- for instance, into tweeking gear to get the last dB.) My compliments -- and thanks -- to Jeff. John Blankenship, C.A.S. Indianapolis (Super Bowl Champions!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jeff Colon Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 I would like to believe the mutual respect shown by those here would be the same as if it were us face to face. Just like in the real world, a nine volt or adaptor, offered or received even to or from a competitor in need usually comes back as goodwill well spent. Thanks all Jeffrey Colon nolavox.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisk Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Don't we have a penalty jar around here somewhere? Anyone who mentions the "R" word is fined a quarter. John Blankenship, C.A.S. Indianapolis (Super Bowl Champions!) All right, I'll put my quarter in. Yes, I really like this forum. I think part of the success of this is due to the fact that most of us (at least me, anyway) actually know almost everyone on here on some sort of personal level. That, and you all are just a cool bunch of folks. -Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSBELLA Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Mick, I know what you mean, I tend to check you guys out 1st or 2nd after "logging" on to the WWW. this forum is so much better than the R word (btw, was that r word for roberto or ramps? or both) viva la jeff. huff huff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisk Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 (btw, was that r word for roberto or ramps? or both) There's another quarter. It's for that person that lives "over there". You know, the very friendly, pro american, alcoholic guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 "It's for that person that lives "over there". You know, the very friendly, pro american, alcoholic guy." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, in my humble opinion, part of "the success of this forum" is that so far it has been pretty much free of anyone bashing anyone, regardless of who they are. So please, let's not start now. It's not productive, and it destroys the good vibe that this forum has been so successful at maintaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I agree with Darren and it could be said that while praising the way this group behaves we slipped into some of the bad behavior that has been so thankfully avoided so far...
