No, but members with less than 3 months on the forum should have all posts screened by the forum mods before the post hits the board. Kinda like posting probation.....and a postiing limit per day during the probationary period.

If there were only a number that could be called when somebody goes off their medication.

Well the summer's of 1979 and 1980 were spent pouring over 1500 yards each summer in downtown highrises in Seattle. Do I qualify?

What?


Bad advice on TubeNet? Something misleading?

Say it isn't so!?!?!?!


What's worse is the crappy playing technique advice that i have seen here--that some kid will go and spend the next 2 years in a practice room trying to make it work. When they finally get a teacher, he/she has to spend the next 2 years unlearning that bad technique...

Let's be honest:

If you are ACTUALLY foolish enough to take advice about playing from those you do not know or have never met, then you deserve whatever you may get.
I agree with this except when it is a child--one that is ambitious enough to want to improve their playing and perhaps too ignorant to go out and get a good teacher...

Now, with adults, I agree!

This question could be addressed during registration.
Let's see: I've set footings to secure my son's swing set; I've made flower boxes and garden edgings for my wife; I've rigged a slab under the sump pump outlet to direct the water towards the curb gutter/drainage ditch at my folk's office building, but I've never poured a building foundation. But every one of the other projects are still going strong after years of use. Does that qualify?

I haven't worked in masonry, yet. But I have worked in a plastic company. Does that count for anything?

If you are doing serious academic research in an online forum, you have bigger problems than the threat of misinformation.

I laid a tile floor on a mission trip to Chile. Does that count?

Other than uneducated opinions, this is mostly what one will find on TubeNet. This is especially true in my case.

Hey, Jim -- you might as well join the rest of us and give unsolicited advice when nothing else will work, or just anytime at all. Give enough of it, and one day you might be formally, informally, or otherwise someone just has a drink of beer or other libation and you become a member of the TNFJ.
