I still accept you eo!! But I don't know if you are going to garnish points by referencing people as the mob, or maddening crowd,lol! I noticed you qualified post with "original". I just see it as someone who came in with brash honesty, and got that in return. It's a quality I personally admire. I think it's probably symptomatic of being raised in the midwest. Of course you mix that with the fighting type from Massachusetts, and it makes quite an incendiary combination. Speaking of which, I think this is about all I want to continue on this thread, I think I've said enough already, I'll just pop some corn and take a seat in the bleachers and enjoy this show from the sidelines,lol!!! Of course I'm leaving if there's any blood.

Hey Len, you have chimed in on a couple of my posts, and I'm grateful you did, so I'm a friend here. I don't think Kevin's remark about the koolaid was aimed towards you...JMO. It did say it was to Rob. I think the "y'all" was because he was including wta
in there, but Kevin can clear that up himself if he wants to.
I agree with some of your comments in this regard, but not all. You're cool in my book.

Hey eo, man, you've always been kind enough to post on my P2P threads. Quick to tell me when something's wrong, and when something's right. What more could a person ask for......thanks!

wta, not trying to be an ass here, but Mr Laskow doesn't need you to defend Taxi. He's fully capable of that himself.....I know,
I've seen it. :D
Worse, how can it be worse...Jehova Jehova Jehova

lol 2lane! No I know his comments weren't about me drinking the koolaid, I didn't take any offense at that, what really burns me up is that he ignored me, isn't that the worst thing in this business when everyone fights to be heard, getting ignored? I better say right now I am of course joking. I found out at 48 that I've been wrong most of my life, today I just turned 49, and it is good now that I am aware, and can move forward.

I can now see how serious you are taking all this. I sincerely apologize if you took my words as a personal offense. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to help me and provide heartfelt advice. Sincerely....I just wanted to publicly acknowledge that I feel like you are and were sincere and I am truly sorry if I hurt your feelings.

If you think Taxi is worthless then go away. Good luck with whatever... I am getting out of this amateur hour thread. I did nothing but try to calm you down.. like you obviously needed before you commited polictical suicide.

Why not just have your TV producer wife play your "genious" music and lyrics on her show? Then go cry on someone elses board.

BTW, NOBODY HAS TO PROVE ANYTHING TO YOU!! DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH! LEARN YOUR OWN LESSONS. GO STICK YOUR FINGER THAT EMPTY LIGHT SOCKET AND FIGURE OUT ON YOUR OWN IF YOU SHOULD DO IT OR NOT.

I DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU ANYMORE... at all, and I PROMISE TO NEVER EVER EVER TRY TO HELP YOU AGAIN.. DID I SAY NEVER? BECAUSE I MEAN NEVER!!!

see I can use caps lock too,

Rob

Awesome feedback Steve...you are 100% correct...I can't argue with this...

Kevin, liked your music, the website is cool as hell! Just don't let this black hole business suck up you soul!
This is just futile though Kevin...... resistence is futile. You can look back on the most popular, most successful people's posts on this forum, and you won't find a post where they were ever critical of a screener.....it's just not gonna happen!! Once a screener has returned a tune, it's fate is sealed, on this forum anyway.
I myself find it hard to believe that if your song was forwarded, someone was gonna lose their BMW, or Taxi a listing client, but
it's not my company. ML is entitled to run as he sees fit, and I might add, done it successfully for many years. I just wonder what is worse though, sending a song that might be 90-95% there, or never having anything to send the client? This I say within the context of the forum, because Taxi has many members that don't use it. But if someone has to drag up the "Buy Me A Rose" thing again ( don't know how many times I've seen that one on these kinda threads ).....well, therein lies the rub!!
I'd just let it go tho Kevin.....JMHO!
All the best
Steve
