Houston was very strong in the ASPD days and seems to be pretty strong here. A lot of us registered within a year or so, but guys like dearhunter and myself have been friends since around 2003 or so.

I have no reviews here, but had literally hundreds within the past 10 years. Same for dearhunter and many others.

No dear CD, we aren't the total newbies that our information listed may indicate we are.

Most of us just tell it like we feel, nothing personal, but just giving our opinions. We don't get together and pm each other and say, 'ok, today we gang up on CD'. We are all our own individuals with our own thoughts and opinions. Some have stronger opinions than (then

) others.

Actually it makes for a better exchange of thoughts.

Wow. This really seemed to have come out of nowhere, dear. Either I missed something, or you are seeing something that is not there. I thought we were all having a good time.

Also, just for the record, I don't think I have ever once looked at the number of posts or the number of reviews. I don't care. Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion. I'm still lost regarding what you speak of, though.

I have never made a mistake... I thought I did once... but I was wrong...

*ahem* speaking of education since some of you guys want to be grammar freaks in here. learn how to distinguish "knew" from "new". 2 totally different words and meanings.

What I'm getting at is nobody's perfect here. We all come from different walks of life. If a person's post contains grammar issues you don't have to be an ass about it. You obviously knew what they were trying to say so what was the point in getting fresh about it?

No beef on my end, just talking real shit. Excuse my FRENCH. lol back on topic....

We are having a great time. Threads of this nature are so informative.

This was basically my reply about the grammar check thing that was going on, stuff that guys like chicagoboy took to a higher level in the Houston ASPD forums.

A lot of people look at the date register and amount of reviews and use that to gauge credibility, and in that context, they are mistaken by thinking a bunch of us are total newbies that just flew into this hobby from parts unknown. Not implying that you did, but it is done by others.

I think I was just letting you know that most of Houston dances to our own drummer. I'm sure Houston is far more active than the NY or northeast forums and this was my explanation why.

At least I like you enough and respect you enough to post and type all of this.

True. All I'm saying is represent your alma mater. There's no shame in it.

I suspect there aren't nearly as many Master's Degrees in here as are claimed.
