What's this? I've been successful putting a review there? Me? A guitar player?
You've tried three times? One for every note of the pentatonic scale isn't 
it? Oh I'm sorry, the pentatonic scale has four notes doesn't it, maybe more, 
I'm not usually thinking when I'm playing it! Yeah, a real "pattern" of error 
messages I'd say!

>HELP PLEASE.  I am an intelligent person and this crap is driving me crazy.

Yes! A very intelligent person (ie, NOT a GUITAR PLAYER), I can completely 
understand how a computer KEYBOARD shouldn't behave in this manner!

OK, I'll confess! I entered a review (even more brilliant than the one which 
actually made it) which for some reason didn't "make it." I was not happy! On 
the second one, I "hit" the SUBMIT button a number of times before I got an 
indication that it had been sent. But hey, what do I know, I'm just a guitar 
player -- I'm looking for that tube of Testors glue right now; I could really 
use some inspiration!

Pentatonic would be FIVE John.  But, I forgive your slight as I know guitar
players can normally only count to 4 (like 4/4 time).  follow that drummer 
1...2....3....4

Well, I did lose my first one.  However on the second one, I did a copy and
paste of my comments to a document before I hit submit.  So, the third
attempt was identical to # 2 and so will # 4 be if I could figure out how
the DAMN THING WORKS.

Oh sure, that's just the explaination I would expect from a guitar player. 
Duh!!  Hit it again, and again, and again....

Disclaimer:  For everyone who hasn't grasped the obvious, all of the
negative sounding comments above relating to guitar players and John in
particular are meant totally in jest.  :)

Everyone that's having trouble posting Synthsite reviews -- It might not
be your fault.  I've gotten some seriously garbled HTML from them recently
(I'm using Nutscrape 4.51 GNU/Linux Intel).  My guess is that their
scripts are buggier than they think.

peace,

Chris (jealous because he can't buy more MOTM till he gets a real job)

I actually quit playing the drums when I was fourteen because I had no idea 
how to play in 5 and 7 -- hey Larry, the truth hurts!

All seriousness aside... I tried this, and could not get it to copy in to 
their little window. What I decided to try (after my first failed attempt) 
was hitting the submit button without filling out the review. After I saw 
that it worked, I was willing to try again; ONCE more!

I actually was able to get it to copy to the window.  Go figure.

You have a good point there.  Sometimes brute force IS the right answer. 
And, I know how to do that as evidenced by the sheer number of MOTM switch
carcasses I have accumulated.  :)

Later,

Thanks Chris.  I think I'll try the "poke it again" JB method once more.

Hey!  Good education leads to good career, leads to LOTs of MOTM.  In a
similar situation, I can only buy one or two each time myself (usually only
one) because all my money goes to colleges for my son.  Oh well.
