Yeah, you all stop tooting my horn (so to speak). Admiral Rokenn and
John(tm) are the single and foremost knowledgable and practical bard
posters on the list as far as raw information goes. And Kitasi for
his testing of things over and over and over.

Anytime someone has a question about bards, I rattle off the EQ Song
Analysis website. Which I must add, Rokenn has done an excellent job
at maintaining.

Some guy stopped me last week and asked if I was the Harmonic from
eqbards, and the contributer to song analysis. I told him yeah, and
the guy wanted to get a screenshot of himself next to me...

jeez, I don't have _that_ big of an ego that needs stroking.

Pretty weird... I mean I'd take a picture with a friend if we
were at say Old Faithful in Yellowstone, but with a bard in the
EQ game? It was flattering, but I had to kill more deepwater
goblins. And plus I was starting to get scared, hehe... stalker!

Harmonic.
