TubeNet performance skills (organized by category)

Post by sloan »

1. Reading skills are paramount. Read for at least 6 months before trying to write.

2. Write what you know. If you don't know anything, don't write. See Skill # 1.

3. Know your audience(s). Understand who you are writing for, and how they are likely to react to your writing. See Skill #1.

4. Throw away all throwaway remarks. If it's not crucial to your main thesis, discard it.

5. Don't presume that those who disagree with you simply didn't understand what you said the first time. Repeating yourself doesn't work, and only annoys the pig.

6. Don't feed the trolls. That's what newbies are for.

7. Discuss. Expect others to discuss what you write. Usually not favorably (those who agree with you are busy nodding; those who don't care are busy nodding off.)

8. When you are done, stop.

Ya know, it's probably a better deal to buy a used German or American plunger at about the same price as the Chinese model.. If the handle breaks on the Chinese plunger, where will you get a replacement??

Someone was kind enough to reply to the original thread today and I only just now read it as I was in the boonies all weekend. This thread is a lot funnier now that I've read the other one! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Unwritten #15: Under no circumstances should you use the TubeNet search feature. Every thread is new and exciting.

All kidding aside, what is better, lacquered brass or silver finish? BBb or CC? Is a Miraphone 186 a good horn? Anyone ever played on a Conn Helleberg?
