RTP-area local music and culture

[chapelhillshredder AT hotmail.com]

Thanks everyone for giving their opinions.  It is great to know that
there are so many talented bands who can really play in this area.
Aside from the few of you who took the comments that I made too
personally, the question was legitimate and the wealth of information
given is truly appreciated.

I sincerely hope that other new folks are treated a bit better in the
future but I won't count on it.  It seems that there is a lot of
emotional baggage that some of you chose to share when asked a simple
question.  Since I was informed about this site, I have met a few
people who know the history of this newsgroup and they have given me
insight into why some of the comments here are a bit sarcastic or
condescending.

A word of advice... not everyone is as dumb as you might think or
believe so why not give people the benefit of the doubt when meeting
them for the first time... even in a virtual sense?  Whatever happened
to cordiality?  What happened to exchange of opinion without being
condescending or mean?  Some of the comments posted here are truly
rude and uncalled for.  If I find out that any of these rude posters
are in bands, I'll certainly make the effort to drop in at your next
show or two and tell the club manager what a horrible band you are...
regardless of your 'skillz'.  Maybe next time you will decide to take
a less condescending tone when someone asks a legitimate question.

Have a great day.
