Pedro,
I posted as liberatusvirus (a Latin transcription of my last name,
not a computer disease). Rob and I have been discussing the best
interests of the group with Keith. It's time for me to pass along
ownership of the group as well. I've offered it to Keith. I hope that
he takes it. He's done a terrific job on the board, and his technical
qualifications for dealing with electronics are impeccable. In time,
I'm sure that he'll get the MIDI bug, the recording bug, and many of
the other bugs that drummers of all kinds can catch. Part of the fun
of heading the group is having the opportunity to learn from other
people's experiences. I think that I can safely say that Rob and I
have had a great run at DTXpress and that we're grateful to have
someone like Keith take the torch for us. People will continue to
come and go here; let's hope that DTXpress can thrive well into the
future. Good luck, everyone.
