Crier don't leave. I appologise for even debating the issue with Harmonic.
While his statement was out of line, I should have just given up talking
sense to him once I realized he refused to listen to reason, or to have a
sense of humor.
Most of us are pretty level headed and are always willing to offer advice.
Some bad, some good. I will agree that John Kim seems to have the best
technical advice on being a bard I've ever seen (John, you amaze me). All
of us have valid points to make and I agree, this list helps even the best
of bards be a bit better.
Stick around, the fun never ends ;)
