I don't know, man. If you name the law after me, people might think I'm the one who originally started the whole space elevator nonsense. :ninja: It would kind of be like how "Lownered" became part of the Talkbass vernacular. And speaking of, it does raise the question: If someone makes a ragequit/hissyquit thread and then never responds after the initial post, did that person also Lowner the thread in addition to rage/hissyquiting?

To answer LM's question, ragequits are much less frequent than lownerings, and there's some overlap between the two sets. The big majority of ragequits are lownerings but only a few lownerings are ragequits. The attached diagram should clarify.

Can't find much about lownerings. A former TB stalwart?

I think there was a user called lowner that started a thread (threads?) and never posted in them again beyond the OP. Thus, the verb 'to lowner' was born...to start a thread and then refrain from subsequent posts. Some older TB'ers could probably give you specifics.

I'm mighty curious about aleach, though.

Maybe tasty and Unrepresented can get on the case? :)

It's the exact same deal as having a gig scheduled that you've known about for weeks, and something you'd rather do comes up, so you bail on the gig and the band has to use a sub.

Old School vs New School

There's no pride in quitting anymore. Everyone's got a QuitHero these days and the craft of quitting is in danger...pathetic. They're just too damned lazy.

People who play in my band may not realize that they've quit when they've done this, but they have. :) I and several other members won't play with people who can't be responsible and fulfill their commitments. I can name a singer, a drummer who didn't last for this reason and I can name one guitarist who's tried then realized and did the show anyway. If I do the gig with a 103 degree fever, there's no good excuse to miss one unless you're in traction.

He is probably just getting back to another 20 years of 4 hour a day practice. He doesn't have time for this :D

Why do people think that you can't practice if you're on TB? They're not mutually exclusive.

If you do a search on the term 'lownered' you will find the truth. Advance search, display posts, then sort by date. ;)
