Hello everybody.
I want to state, loud and clear, that this will be my final post. I have grown sick and tired of seeing the same things over...and over...and over. It just becomes too much of a waste of time to be addicted to something that never changes. And, with college beginning for me (finally) I have hardly any time to waste.
It really discouraged me to come back here and realize that basically the topics were all
exactly the same as when I left several months ago; it's amazing when you realize that no matter how much we talk about it, almost nobody else bothers to use the search function- especially new users. I also have grown tired of seeing the general population of this forum become less and less piano-oriented, and I saw more annoying, obnoxious, dogmatic, and immature behavior in the run-up to when I left than in the previous 2 years that I was a member here. There is no point in doing this any longer.
That said, I express my thanks to those of you who helped me with my obsessive collecting of scores- especially Lawrence and Mike. Also, I thank all of you who I befriended while I was here (too many to list), who helped me with the multitude of questions I had, who found my comments at all useful. Drop me an e-mail if you want to stay in touch. philtaylor13@aol.com
(Wolfi, I really am sorry about the duel. I would love to hear you play the Mazurka anyway. Feel free to send me a rec.

(And no, Prometheus, Sarah and I didn't get married. Where in the world you got that idea, who knows...)
I enjoyed most of my time here on this forum; I just wish it hadn't become such a timewaster. I wish you all good luck in your endeavors, whatever they may be.
Peace. I'm out.
Phil
