Well, aren't you just above all of these people who do have an overwhelming interest in posting on this message board? I guess posting on a message board might get in the way of making records, I suggest making that excellent point, John. In fact, you're just so completely above it, that you responded to a thread where someone questioned the origins of your decreased message posting frequency in a mere handful of days, about a thread from
five years ago...

Is that valuable to note? I have met much more noteworthy engineers than yourself, and when they find out I'm from Dallas, they occasionally ask if I know you. Let me just say, you don't exactly have a professional reputation as the most charming kid on the block yourself.
You first claim to know much about me, followed by claiming to know nothing about me. So which is it? If I'm to believe you wouldn't even know it if I were standing next to you and I'm entirely insignificant, why would I believe your assessment of my reputation? And nobody asked you to pick my music out of a lineup or even brought up my music, period. In fact, it was only you, in this thread, that brought it up. For the record, I have never had any interest in researching your music. I did happen to notice when a Dallas band that I mostly knew from being on a Coca-Cola sponsored compilation put out a record on Kill Rock Stars. That was my original point five years ago, and I still stand by my original highlighting of that surprising fact. As for my music, I generally have never sought attention or credit for it. You will never see a link to it in my signature and I have yet to make a single Myspace page for any project I have ever been involved in. If you happen to find one, it wasn't made by me.

I have been busy so it took me about four months before I was even made aware that this thread existed. I took time out of my schedule to point out how funny it was that you were bothered enough by something I said five years ago to try to make the case to complete strangers that I'm completely insignificant to you. I'm sure they believe you.
