Frederik Magle founded, owns, and pays for this site. You're in his house and eating his bread.

 

His house, but I think its more like we're all bringing a pot luck dinner, rather than eating his bread.

 

Well now I know...thanks!

 

Thanks :tiphat: KenOC for responding to the query.

Here's the bio info for Frederik Magle.

The Frobenius organ mentioned in this article is indeed a wonderful instrument - I've played it and performed a concert on that very organ in 2010.

Frederik is an extremely talented, gifted musician and composer and a very dear friend.

That's the sort of leading question that invites the response "The best of a bad lot." Fortunately, that doesn't correspond with reality; the leadership and membership (one is a subset of the other) comprise a pretty good sampling of humanity. The societal 'bookends' are apparently missing, but that just lops off the ends of a bell curve. As a humanist I love them all, even if some of them populate my Ignore list.

So, Rachmanijohn, feel free to jump in all over. The smiles and frowns and slaps upside the head you get should make you feel at home. Even the accumulative effect of the slaps upside the head is a good simulation of real life.

 

What are you saying?

Sounded like insult but on a higher level.

 

:lol::devil:

 

Thanks for the interpretation, Aramis. I couldn't have said it better.

Not for nothing, but I truly don't think that Mr. Magle is making a profit from either this site or its sister site, MIMF; on the contrary, I am almost certain that--at times--he has to keep both ventures afloat by reaching into his own pockets. I also firmly believe that he did not start either one of these forums in order to make a profit.
As soon as I am informed by one of the moderators how I might be able to make a financial contribution to both forums(in dollars rather than kroners)`as I avail myself of the two quite often, I shall.

 

I was just asking a normal question...any reason you have to be a douche about it?

 

Question is ofcourse normal but the way you've asked it, the structure of your sentence, reminds me of some other...Conspiracy issues:lol:

 

Well there should be a page that newcomers see that tells them about the creator. Not having one, invites questions like mine. I apologize for my wording, I don't always have the best tact, but it's not intentional. Thanks though to those who answered my question directly and without the childish insulting I hoped to get away from on other blogs. Guess it's everywhere right?

People are indeed the same everywhere. When the traveler asked the old man by the side of the road what sort of people lived in the city yonder, the old man asked in return, "What sort of people lived where you came from?"

But you may know that story...

 

U r such an elitist honey

 

I was and still am a member of many forums based on various interests and topics and what i see is regular users always attack the owners or moderators thinking they should have some sort of anarchy on the topics or they should be punished less than others involved in arguments and provocations...I was a moderator and what i kept telling people is that they are on the ''private ground'' where the owner can make rules whatever he likes, users can influence but the last word is his always.
