Chick Corea? Man, I'd be there to hear whatever he had to say. He's on a plane way, way, way above me.
That reminds me of a jazz conference where Arturo Sandoval was the big name in attendance. He gave a workshop/lecture and only played on his trumpet maybe a fifth of the time that he was on piano.
All the high school kids were getting bored and restless, but us older college types (even with zero piano chops like me) were completely fascinated by what he was demonstrating on the keyboard.

Once this goes non-beta, it might be a simple solution to those annoying bump issues.
Adding a bump function which can only be used once every 24 hours would clean up the threads. The mention of backing up all files makes me hesitant to wait until the final release is done.
We could still do what Bloke said and disable replies to FOR-SALE posts, so other people can't bump it themselves, though we would no longer be able to reccomend someone elses horn.
Just some brain candy.

bloke "who tries to stay away from other people's horns"
DaTubaKid was correct; affect is the homophone that should be used.

Upon reflection, the effect of this grammatical infection doesn't affect our perfectly confected defection from ineffective rules of English. In fact, FECT has defected to China: http://fect.notlong.com
Now where were we?

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Chuck Jackson, you are my hero. I don't mean to be a brown-noser, but I really appreciate someone telling it like it is.

I've got to stop drinking diet coke on this forum.
I thought last week's Elephant explosion was hilarious. Chuck is taking the line and jumping across.
