Chris,
 
To whom are you referring? Mattias? Please clarify.

I believe you Frank, 
 
Unfortunately.Unfortunately.<WBR>...I have one  point to make  that sadly 
has nothing to do with musicianship or clarifying  opinions....has nothing to 
do with musi
 
Mattias - I'm only going to ask this of you once, and I mean to ask in  the 
most polite of ways:
 
I'd rather not see my posts (or anyone  else's posts here) copied without 
their consent -  to other  mailing lists, 'mellotron' or otherwise - where 
they've been severely  edited and the meaning is completely <WBR>taken out of 
context -  like this one on Face
 
 
I just read this on the melllotron list...


The last thing the world needs are more "Johnny come lately  musicians" 
espousing about how they use the mellotron or chamberlin sounds, or  how great 
their band is because of it, or especially - how unique their  samples are. 
I truly hope those tedious and painfully boring interviews are  kept to a 
minimum, and that all the interesting history is finally told.  Things have 
been out of balance in that area for way too long. "
 

I introduced myself.
 
 
You've taken my post about "Johnny come latelies" like Kanye West,  Maroon 
5, and turned it into a post about... you.
For what reason - I have no idea and I don't care.
 
This is 'shit disturbing' ....It's misleading. This isn't true at  all  - 
and it paints you in negative light if you  actually did this deliberately to 
mislead others about content /  intent being posted here.  Your saving 
grace is you didn't  mention me by name.
 
How are people supposed to trust you in any capacity when you  go and do 
something like this?  
 
 
Taking someone's post, editing it, and sending on to others to  change it's 
meaning is totally <WBR>unethical ---- especially  since you didn't ask me 
to clarify it, or discuss it before forwarding. You  just created your own 
context to suityou.
 
 I sincerely hope you haven't been doing this kind of thing all  
along...with other people's posts here. 
 
The fact is -- you've been on this list for years like the rest  of us ---- 
you did not "introduce" yourself as someone  new as you're suggesting. And 
I did not write in response to  anything you said.....
 
 
So this says something about your 'character'. You're either a bit of a  
sneaky revisionist bastard or... you're paranoid.
 
I think everyone should be able to freely make posts  here without having 
to worry about it showing up on other lists, and  being "revised" to be used 
as something completely different.
 
There's an unstated privacy and etiquette that needs to be  respected. And 
the posts I share are strictly for my friends and  acquaintances here on 
this list and no one else. 
 
If you want me to say something nasty about you on the Mellodrama  Facebook 
list, pay me $20.00 and I'll try to come up with something  obnoxious that 
gets you sympathy - if that's what you want. 
 
So let's not have anymore "copying to other lists" or "revisionism  of 
people's e- mails" okay?
 
If you have friends on other lists and they're curious about what goes on  
here - then I think you should ask them to join this one and remain  lurkers.
 
If this happens again, I'm unsubscribing.If

Hey,
 
Mattias is the real deal. I think when you turn 16 in Sweden, you are  
automatically offered a Mellotron. I'm guessing that Mattias has probably  had 
at least one for the last 16 years or so, maybe much longer, perhaps  since 
his late teens or early 20s. It is obvious that he cares a great deal  for 
them as can be evidenced by the zillion videos he has posted on you  tube. I 
was only kidding about the "Mattias come lately," comment. He is  certainly 
not new to them, and although he is quite a bit younger than many  of us on 
this list, I would wager that he has more playing/recording time on  them 
than most of us. If Mattias had been in music in 1972, he most  certainly would 
have been playing one then... and he is primarily a drummer  (but a 
talented musician nonetheless ;?)
