O-10 and Rok, perhaps it has not been obvious to you or to anyone else but me, but I believe I have proven my willingness to, in spite of all the disagreement and nonsense, to try and be amicable and, at least, try to keep these discussions on a positive track. I have even suggested some guidelines for what I feel is more positive and less contentious interaction. Most of these efforts have been met with, at best, negative reaction and, at worst, ridicule. O-10, no one thinks or has suggested that you are a moron, but you continue to interact in a way that is provocative and simply not very nice nor inclusive. What is being discussed is obvious to me and, I think, others here. So, if you want to take the discussions in a certain direction I suggest that you simply do so and try to keep the negative innuendo out of it.
Rok, we have been here before. I have no need nor desire to "strut my stuff". I would prefer to share and interact in discussions about music and discuss topics as they come up. What you ask in your most recent post can be mostly answered by simply going back over previous discussions and doing simple internet searches and perhaps reconsidering your reaction to much of what was presented to you. I am not about to make up for your "laziness" when previous efforts were dismissed and/or ridiculed. Moreover, I don't believe the problem is any laziness on your part, but that of a very rigid and self-serving attitude about much of what we try to discuss. This reaction on my part is not due to spite or anger, but simply the believe that the only way to have a chance at a real change in how we interact here is by frankness and then let the chips fall where they may. You ask some interesting questions and, as I said, the answers are easily found in the readily available reading on the net. Your last question is particularly interesting and I will take a stab at it when I have some time next.
****Should we separate the structure of music, from the artistic part of music, when speaking of influence?****
As I have said more times than I can remember: I hope we can do better going forward.
