In the anticipation that you may have missed my provocative essay I am starting a new thread that I hope will encourage free discourse.
Forums are great places to debate, write essays, express opinion and exchange knowledge. I get masses of this here from all quarters - so thanks one and all for continuing to educate me.
They are also places where misery and spite hide behind the clipped narrative of the internet.
As a plea, can we continue to keep this place free from the latter. Thankfully, all but gone are the, "I want your help but only if you ratify my already made decisions" type postings and the topics that could be archived under a Beginner Luthier FAQ section are easily searchable. We are in rude good health!
I don't have much but what I do have and love in others, is strong opinion. Allow me that please as I allow it for you..
Responses below please while I go and put on my flame retardant suit
