Hello! It's been a while since I've posted. I apologize. I'll try to do better. I did want to respond to some of the things you all are talking about. I am from Huntsville, Alabama. It's about 2 hours south of Nashville and 3-4 hours from Atlanta. I think it's great that, through a minimal amount of effort, folks from different areas of the world can get together on common ground. I have no problem with the content of the list shifting topics every once in a while. That's what seperates typical lists from the really good ones. I enjoy reading about what life is like elsewhere. As far as advertising the list, the more the merrier. If a bad apple signs up, I can boot him/her. Favorite drummers - Chad Sexton, Matt Chamberlain, Tim Alexander, Billy Martin, Terry Bozzio, Carter Beauford, Dennis Chambers...in addition to the ones you've mentioned. I could go on and on. I second Giles' call for more user kits! I'm dying to get more! I'd send you a few more, Giles,but you didn't post the ones I had already sent. I figured you either don't like them or forgot about them. Gotta get back to work.
