You'll want to define this proverbial "we" before your statement gains widespread acceptance around these parts, but yes, your point is taken. And it's not like BGers are off limits down here...I mean, Plankspankers gotta start someplace, right? So say, for instance, that a Pork Chop player wanted to find out some information on DOUBLE BASSES or DOUBLE BASS PLAYERS, why, he'd be right welcome to come down and ask away. Or if a Slabber was thinking about buying a DOUBLE BASS, and needed some advice, he'd have come to the right place, no problem.

But if a FLATBASS player just got bored with the pickings up in BGland and decided to mosey on down to the castle and start a thread that had absolutely nothing to do with DOUBLE BASSES, DOUBLE BASS PLAYERS, or DOUBLE BASS ACCESSORIES, why then we'd be......right where we are, asking, "why?".... as in, "why does this thread exist? Does it have a point? If so, what is that point? Is there a reason for this thread to exist, or did somebody just run out of "Poll:WhAt WoOd MaKe A BeTtEr PeT, a VeLoCiRaPtOr Or A lIvInG, bReAtHiNg Mr. PoTaToHeAd DoLl ThE sIzE oF fAt AlBeRt?" type thread ideas?

Because if it's the latter, there's not going to be much time to drink all of that beer everyone has so kindly brought to share.

 

Well by all means, ask all the DB questions you want, that's what the forum is here for. We just like the OT forum down here to be on the quiet side, more like a small neighborhood bar for DB curmudgeons than a nightclub seating 600 people with flashing lights, loud music and a laser show. And you weren't exactly getting flamed - curmudgeonly affectations are an established pastime around here: they kind of help break up the monotony of hearing that same old conversation about how Pops is basically okay rosin, but kind of gritty in the summertime.

 

Take two: they're small.
