1: If you haven't posted a review, you should not have comment capabilities.

2: If you have a 'no review' policy, you should not have comment capabilities.

Alot of experts and martyrs are cloaked under these two categories...USELESS!

Do I need to do a Kansas review?

I agree that it has really gotten out of hand.
We are at fault also for letting people antagonize us & responding to them.

Unfortunately, ECCIE is one of the only sites around that offers free advertising and has enough traffic to support us.
I've been a member of a couple of other free sites and they weren't very helpful with hardly any members.

Fusing the complexity of British prog rock with an American heartland sound representative of their name, Kansas were among the most
popular bands of the late '70s; though typically dismissed by critics, many of the group's hits remain staples of AOR radio play lists to this
day. Formed in Topeka in 1970, the founding members of the group -- guitarist Kerry Livgren, bassist Dave Hope, and drummer Phil Ehart --
first played together while in high school; with the 1971 addition of classically trained violinist Robbie Steinhardt, they changed their name
to White Clover, reverting back to the Kansas moniker for good upon the 1972 arrivals of vocalist/keyboardist Steve Walsh and guitarist
Richard Williams. The group spent the early part of the decade touring relentlessly and struggling for recognition; initially, their mix of
boogie and prog rock baffled club patrons, but in due time they established a strong enough following to win a record deal with the Kirshner
label.

Kansas' self-titled debut LP appeared in 1974; while only mildly successful, the group toured behind it tirelessly, and their fan base grew to
the point that their third effort, 1975's Masque, sold a quarter of a million copies. In 1976, Leftoverture truly catapulted Kansas to stardom.
On the strength of the smash hit "Carry On Wayward Son," the album reached the Top Five and sold over three million copies. 1977's Point
of Know Return was even more successful, spawning the monster hit "Dust in the Wind." While the 1978 live LP Two for the Show struggled
to break the Top 40, its studio follow-up, Monolith, the band's first self-produced effort, reached the Top Ten. That same year, Walsh issued
a solo record, Schemer-Dreamer.

In the wake of 1980's Audio-Visions, Kansas began to splinter; both Hope and Livgren became born-again Christians, the latter issuing the
solo venture Seeds of Change, and their newfound spirituality caused divisions within the band's ranks. Walsh soon quit to form a new band,
Streets; the remaining members forged on without him, tapping vocalist John Elefante as his replacement. The first Kansas LP without
Walsh, 1982's Vinyl Confessions, launched the hit "Play the Game Tonight," but after only one more album, 1983's Drastic Measures, they
disbanded. In 1986, however, Kansas re-formed around Ehart, Williams, and Walsh; adding the famed guitarist Steve Morse as well as
bassist Billy Greer, the refurbished band debuted with the album Power, scoring a Top 20 hit with "All I Wanted." When the follow-up, 1988's
In the Spirit of Things, failed to hit, seven years passed before the release of their next effort, Freaks of Nature. Always Never the Same
followed in 1998. Seeing the return of founder singer/songwriter Kerry Livgren, Somewhere to Elsewhere was released in 2000.

Ari - I completely see where you are coming from. Some of the poster have no respect for providers or for anyone else for that matter. Best thing to do is ignore the posts, not respond. If the majority of people in the KC forum do this, eventually they will head to another forum where they can get the attention they so crave.

Another classic narcissist. Ignore him and he'll eventually move along.

Too bad narcissism is more widely accepted lately since we have one in the White House now...

Actually, this isn't a review. It's a biography.

Once you start running it is a long track.
It sounds to me you want to creat a site for
big spenders. If you think 200 dollars a hour is low class you are insulting by demeaning the same thing you are talking about you want to avoid. On a different level it puts you in the same class of negative comments.

Thats a stretch, the rudeness on this hooker board is obama's fault?!

OK - Early warning indicator - please stay on topic - let's not drag politics into this thread. If you want to discuss this in a political vein, please start a thread in the Sandbox.

So Fritz, is there any realistic chance that specific individuals could be banned from making posts in a particular region?
