Are there no moderators here in the double bass section? - Page 3

Personally, I'm shocked that Ed didn't decide to "moderate" this thread...

1. there are less db players.
2. more of them are likely to not chime in where there's clearly nothing to say.
3. we like not having to sort through page after page of amicable conversation before we get to the meat of a topic... that's what chat rooms are for.

Yes it was a rather amusing thread about the virtues of "headless DB's" I may have been the culprit having expressed an opinion about the "bottom line: goodness" of head (on a bass... you know as opposed to a bass without a head....

). Was my rather sophmoric double entendre deemed to be too racy for such a family friendly environment??? Or maybe the moderators up north swooped down and moderated the thread away for being so far afield. I prefer when we do our own moderatin' down heyah. Brightens up my day.

Nah! If you look on some of the BG areas, there are hundreds of post which got no reply at all and go back months - but they're still there! Whereas this one had some replies and disappeared after a few days - it was definitely deleted. Maybe the original poster was embarassed at his mistake and asked Paul to delete it for him?

no moderators yet there is still the link "report this post to a moderator" at the bottom of every post

that link scares me..

Goth Barbie's "can I decorate it" thread has been moderated away as well. Thank you phantom moderator.

Yes, I'll second and third the "thank you phantom moderator" sentiment. Whoever you are, we are in your debt, with no idea how to repay you. I, for one, will begin repayment by taking a solemn oath to refrain from referring to Bass Guitars as "Canoe Paddles" for the next three months. At least.

Thanks again.
Chris

God has left the building!

I see the mystery has been revealed - Mr. John Turner (of the chromatically tuned, 16 stringed, 45lb. multi-necked electric wonders

) is now officially our moderator. Welcome, welcome to you and your herdin' stick. How does it feel to have your name in lights? Congrats on the "promotion."

Hey, JT's our moderator? Too cool! Welcome!
Check this out--it may just have enough strings!

hey, thanks guys - ed you moved me, truly.

oh, and double dad, thanks a million for the link, that instrument is beautiful. i've always been a fan of viola de gambas and barytons, and that bass is just wonderful.

David Kaczorowski · #52 03-01-2001, 04:43 PM

John, you gotta promise to let us have a little fun with the dopes that come looking for trouble over here before you boot 'em.

**john turner** · #53 03-01-2001, 04:51 PM

of course. i probably won't move on much of anything until asked, although i might chime in on the more obvious genetic defects.

at least this way, you guys can get rid of the crap that you don't want around.

also, if anybody needs any help with posts or pics or anything, my email's always open.
