Like most surveys, it says far more about the person conducting the survey than it does about those responding to it.keg84 wrote:Hope you like it and I hope its revealing about the members of tubenet.
You won't get many more participants with that type of a response. Rick Denney is one of the most respected contributors on tubenet. If you read posts properly you would probably know that.keg84 wrote:If you don't like it, don't do it. I dont care. Thanks to the 18 who have to far! I'll post the results when I get a few more tomorrow.
The "OTHER" is encouraged when possible.
Thanks though. I was trying to think of a way to mention the people who are on all the time and just look for stuff to complain about and waste everyone else's space and time on tubenet, and the rest of the internet for that matter, with negative bullshit, but I knew it wouldn't be long. Thanks for the input thou man.

I'm sorry, I didn't know there was allotted time and space for people on the internet. Would you mind telling me who delegates this? Maybe, Kyle, you can do the rest of us on this board a favor and not make it to 30 posts. Thanks!keg84 wrote:If you don't like it, don't do it. I dont care. Thanks to the 18 who have to far!

Hmm... is this answer to my question about being in the minority ? I don't know. I have been a member here for approx. 4 years . Perhaps my memory fails me but it seems way back in the day ,2004 or so, euphonium posts and the interest in them where way more prominent than they are now. That's why I joined . I've seen a steady decline in the last year or so . I'm just lonely ........Maybe the euphonium players on this forum are more shy and retiring, or just too busy practicing?

Troll or not, the originator of this thread sure did a good job of yanking the crank of the TubeNet 'meanies'. I think that is what the 'poll' was all about in the first place. You guys bit hard!the elephant wrote:Oh, Dan … He jumped on Rick, who merely gave him a very honest and nice response. That says a lot about him as a person. He also revealed his own TRUE reasons for doing this poll and revealed himself to be a troll by intentionally baiting the forum. He is trolling for responses, hence the term.
So did I. I took it. And I also agreed with Rick. Regardless, do you like that, after having taken his little poll that he posted such snotty response to Rick that pretty much indirectly insulted everyone who took the time to take his poll?TubaTinker wrote:I must be a real dumb-*** but I thought the survey was kind of fun.
Scumbag behavior is scumbag behavior. It deserves castigating. If it was done in public it deserves public castigating.
I would not say I'm mean. People say I'm fairly decent!TubaTinker wrote:Per one of the other threads about 'mean TubeNetters', this one pretty much drew them out. Be nice, guys. You were probably a stupid kid once, too.
Seriously, I don't like it when people who are around my age(24) being disrespectful to those who OBVIOUSLY know what they're talking about. You do not get the title of 'Resident Genius' for nothing! The bottom line is that not everyone is going to like you or what you do for whatever reason. Deal with it and move on. Is there something you're trying to say, Ken?knuxie wrote:College kids can have that same capacity. They just sound more eloquent.Are you in high school by any chance? I say this because after looking at your survey, I'd say the creator of that survey had the mental capacity of a 15-year old.

Way it is, OBN. This site has mostly tuba players and some euphers. Dave Werden's site is the reverse: mostly euph and some tuba. Not sure about tubanews.com; I slum there occasionally, seems to be a more even mix.oldbandnerd wrote:Has anyone esle noticed that this forum which is for both instruments is tottaly dominated by the tuba world?
You are, but we still like you and the other euphers anyway - you guys are much easier to get along with than those dang trumpet players or even the chainsaw operators.oldbandnerd wrote:I feel like I am in such a minority here .

Rick "pegged" Denney
In exactly what manner would TubeNet be better if it had a younger group? Why is the age of the person an issue here? I believe there are good, solid posts made from people of virtually all ages. I am probably one of the older members of this forum. I don't know why that should matter at all to you, except for the fact that I bring a great deal of life experience along with me. I also have paid a lot of dues in the tuba world.keg84 wrote:I just wish there was a younger group on tubenet, not so academic and tight assed about things that don't need to be.
