    I think it's just a matter of finding the right subject to talk about. The bands that you're into are not what you would call mainstream, and consequently you get little or no response. I do get much more traffic over at Progressive Ears, but I still like to post here also. You just have to know your audience.

    Not being mainstream used to be the beauty of this place. This is where we came to talk about music that wasn't mainstream; that never got commercial radio play; that few, if any, of our friends had ever heard of. That was the audience.

    What name do you post under at PE?

    Same as on AR. I see you on there FA. I've been spending time on the different Opeth posts that are on there as I try to expand my catalog of their music. Usually if there is a post on one of the prog bands that I'm into, I'll throw in my 2 cents.

    So you're not going to tell me what moniker you post under then?

    I don't post much there, but I lurk a lot. If I do post it's usually on something OT. For the most part, once a thread reaches a page I'm done with it. I mean, do you really need 10 pages on the new Steve Wilson album that hasn't even been released yet?

    I'm sorry FA. "Jack in Wilmington" is what I post under. I like what Steve Wilson has done in remixing some of my favorite groups into a 5.1 format. I'm listen to Opeth's Heritage in DTS 5.1 now and it sounds very good, but you're right I too lose interest on some posts if they get long winded.

    Sorry. I've not noticed you there so I just assumed that you were posting under a different name.

    There is a lot of chatter over there and it's easy to miss posts.

    The bands that I like aren't mainstream, but that was never the point of this site. In fact, the opposite of mainstream would be closer to it.

    Davey, Slosh, Rae, Snowbunny, J, Nobody, and countless others appreciate the music that I do, and we've had many lengthy threads in the past. Most of them rarely, if ever, stop by these days.
    I call my bathroom Jim instead of John so I can tell people that I go to the Jim first thing every morning.

    If you say the word 'gullible' very slowly it sounds just like oranges.

    That's sort of what I'm saying. The people that appreciate your music don't hang here anymore and hence a lot of your posts go unanswered. Forever Autumn, Mr Peabody, myself and others have found Progressive Ears as a great place to talk about progressive rock and many other subjects. There may not be the quantity here but I still feel we have some quality in knowledgeable people if you know your audience and ask the right questions.

    Swish, Right now on Progressive Ears there is a post entitled "The Decemberists... The Hazards of Love. The post has 35 replies. Not that I'm trying to send you over there, but if you go there, mention AR and maybe some of them will gravitate here.

    He's always complaining about the lack of chatter here, so I figured he needed to go out and do some recruiting. If these were people that were into the Decemberists, they might be from his home planet.
