Guy_Gallo Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Manfio is correct. Member is actually the highest level of accolade, as it reflects longivity as well as volubility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guta Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hey- now you tell me. Do I have to take stars away from both of you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANFIO Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hi Larry, it seems you have 3 stars now, I really don't know why, so let my poor 3 stars in peace Ok! Falstaff, you are correct, I like the "member" "apellation", I like to play and carpal tunnel is not a good thing at all for players!

Jacob Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 "Why isn't Jacob a POOH-BAH"? It's simple. I'm from South Africa. Here, even if it doesn't rain, the excuse is "it's a computer error" - which, in this case, is the actual truth. I've got this horrible feeling that I'm being noticed...

Jimbow Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Jacob, You are a very knowledgable and helpful violin expert and personally, I am glad you are not a "POOH-BAH"! ------------------------------- " The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000. Pooh-Bah PRONUNCIATION: pbä VARIANT FORMS: or pooh-bah NOUN: 1. A pompous ostentatious official, especially one who, holding many offices, fulfills none of them." ------------------------------- All these meaningless titles should be dropped from the software program. Elimination of the stars would be no great loss either. Neither one works as was probably intended. Just my 2c! Jimbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Thanks Jimbow, now I can go to bed without worrying about the headlights behind me I agree about the titles, they should just replace them with Nuisance 1st degree, Nuisance 2nd degree etc...

jackc Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Well, OK, how come nobody else is a "junior member"? Just because I'm childish and my jokes are sophomoric, and I don't know squat, I still don't think I should be a junior member. I'm no spring chicken and I assure all of you that my member is not junior. How can I shed this ignominious title? Also, I had 3 stars until I made a wisecrack about the current administration and that looney running for governor in Ohio who had Jesus in his violin...

Arte Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I'm guilty of being a perpetual "Junior Member" as well. Perhaps I should make a few wisecracks about the looney Canuck administration and join the "losing my stars club". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guta Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 I don't like my title either. I'm getting too old to be an Enthusiast. JEFFREY!!! Can't I be a Member again? I got the star back , now I want to be in the Inner Circle. BTW, Arte, Jackc has admitted he is just like the rest of us. Would you consider giving him one of your stars? I would, but you have 4 and I have 3. By the way, thanks, Manfio, if it was you who redeemed me from purgatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maestramusica Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Secret handshake? I think it goes like this: One person extends his hand with forefinger pointing towards the other person. Person 2 grips person 1's extended forefinger, as if gripping a bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lversola Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Nice thought, but for the sake of everyone involved, I think we should come up with something that has no possibility of being confused with the old "pull my finger" gag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guta Posted May 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Maestramusica- This is supposed to be a clean, family oriented forum. That being said, you can pull my finger any time you like. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arte Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 I think I gained a star when I criticized the CDN administration. Try it, it feels good. Subversive even. It's practically illegal here you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Obviously there are some issues that need to be cleared up. First of all, the "fraternity" that CT mentioned is the code word for his people. They are one of the more hostile extra terrestrial races "visiting" our little class 3 planet. He's tame most of the time as long as you toss him the occassional MGD. He lives in Roswell. What more proof do you need!? Guta, those aren't headlights following you. You'll soon be visited by beings wearing black suits. Don't fret. You won't remember a thing. You'll soon begin to appreciate the ability to see in the dark. It's been raining here for so long that my violins have floated away. I knew I should have sealed the insides. Sound carries better underwater anyway. The boat has been loading up pairs of animals. It's my job to make sure the unicorns get aboard.

Regis Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Quote: "Sound carries better underwater anyway." Pehaps the VERY 1st violins sank in ship while crossing the Meditranean. They were then written about and thought to be "Sirenes" in the Oddessey. Much later Amati found one washed up on the shore (while on vacation) and began building them. Moral is......well,,,,,float one of your best out off the coast of Maine and listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Regis, you show great insight. You are absolutely correct in your deductions. Unfortunately, I feel there are still skeptics out there. Let me offer this as further proof: M Darnton knows more about violin making, repair, and setup than any human can possibly know. The reason is obvious - he's not human. Take a look at his "varnish" recipes. He and CT discuss these things like it's second nature to them. They speak the same language. I suspect that they knew A Stradavari personally (another alien). Beware! The next varnish recipe might involve mixing up the "magic Koolaide". And don't say I didn't warn you people. Sorry, the voices are getting loud. It's time for my medication.
