ISOC Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 I bought him on Ebay for $1 (Seems other felt it was a fake Darnton) I'll return him when he is finished repairing my other Ebay purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron1 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 How's that for an exchange? Darnton for ISOC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Welll, Cremona is kind of in the 'panhandle'. And the Panhandle of Florida is often called "Southern Alabama". Logic dictates that Michael may or may not be in Pensacola. nope, just scanned the beach and he is nowhere in sight!

H_Axel Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 I have it on unreliable speculation that he's camped out in the line for Stars Wars tickets. He got in line 27 days ago to make sure he would be the first in line. Oh yeah--he's wearing his Wookie outfit. Really--trust me on this. No really. OK--maybe not.

ISOC ----------------------------------- 3 Stars by 2 members for this one (first) post by 'Stranger' ISOC! WOW! Those who recently complained about Star ratings--take note!

apartmentluthier Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Jimbow, must be able to buy the stars on eBay as well if you can start out with three on your first post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbow Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Maybe it was the highly technical and helpful content that justified their ratings. I just wasn't sharp enough to comprehend the profound depth of the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singingmaple Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 I am a bit confused about the star ratings. How do you know how many people have given them a star rating? Do they normally show up on a new member or not until someone rates them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie Brown Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 BOTH (singing): Pore Jud is daid, a candle lights his haid. CURLY (singing): He's lookin' oh, s'purdy and s'nice. He looks like he's asleep, it's a shame that he won't keep, But it's summer and we're runnin' out of ice. BOTH (singing): Pore . . . Jud Pore . . .

" ------------------------------------ Jim, Point your cursor arrow 'thingy' at the stars and a little box will pop up telling how many total rates were made. Apparently, the average number of star ratings submitted is what shows under the user name and title. This is my understanding but, then again, what do I know?

MANFIO Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 We makers are allways looking for a cheap top player at ebay. I've heard that a friend of friend got one, an Enescu pupil for cheap. Perhaps Michael finally got a top cheap violinist on ebay (a luthier's dream) and now is so enchanted listening to him that he has no time to spend on Maestronet. I would do the same.

Andres Sender Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Manfio I had no idea you had such things in you. Too bad we can't just plug skill sets into a data slot on our heads and be our own cheap you-name-it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANFIO Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Hi, "ridendo castigat mores" is a latin proverb linked to humour and comedia, my English is too poor to translate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andres Sender Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 It means "The castigation of morals will return upon you". No, not really. It means something related to this: (To laugh) (punishment) (way; character; morals) Oh to have had a real education... :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillW Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 "Ridendo castigat mores" means approximately "he [or she, i.e., a satirist] chastizes behavior through laughter." It's the end of a line of hexameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandora Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hexametric latin commedia quotes on a thread entitled "Where's Michael?" on a forum devoted to violinmaking? And I felt guilty for getting a little off topic on the "erasing bad habits" thread over on the Fingerboard... This site is the best excuse I've found for not getting around to (washing dishes/doing taxes/balancing checkbook/taking out compost/insert chore here), ever. The only thing missing is the beer.
