I've finally achieved consistency in my life. Any person of average or above intelligence can predict what I will say next with unerring accuracy. And what I say will always be wrong.

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Re: [midkar] An important message from the moderators of Midkar

 

A good topic. I have a few responses.

I personally have been put off posting on this list by statements that political and religious posts are not tolerated, but some members never miss an opportunity to post political and religious messages, yet when I remind people of the list rules, somebody (usually a moderator) always jumps down my throat saying I'M being political or religious. It's not worth the aggrivation, so I've sat it out for a long time, but maybe I'll make another attempt - folks, don't mistake your beliefs as universal truths just because all your friends think the same thing you do. There's a whole world out there, it's rewarding to learn a little bit about it.

It might get a little overwhelming if everybody commented on every midi, but there is a middle ground between that and the very rare comments of praise that people now deliver. I'll try to do better, I do appreciate the many excellent midis people supply.

I don't sequence, but I do listen. I have a short list of midis I've never been able to find anywhere, but I can only think of one now:  (Keep Feeling) Fascination by The Human League. Over the years I've come to believe it's really just sort of watered down Prince, but it is still a sentimental favorite of mine, one of my favorite New Wave songs of them all.

Merry Christmas, Kwanzaa, Eid al-Adha and Hanukkah, everyone!

Dear Midkar Members,

We are 710 strong at this point in time.  However strength does not lie only in numbers.  You have joined the Midkar family for various reasons.  Some of you make sequences and want to share your compositions with the group.  Others of you are collectors.  Some are both.  Many of you are also musicians and entertainers.

We are finding participation in Midkar to be more and more the same 15 to 20 members who are posting files (according to our guidelines). entering into discussions, and sharing some technical stuff, etc.  I'm sure that many of you enjoy the postings - feedback to our posters especially those who sequence would be much appreciated.  

In order for our group to be more "alive" we would appreciate your input.  Those who are regulars posters need not respond as we already know your commitment to our group. Those of you who do not post, we ask you to please consider at least paying a compliment to our posters when you like something they have done.  If you have a request for a particular title, artist or genre of music, please make it known.  The moderators work hard to make the site available and keep it running.  It is up to you, our members to make it a roaring success.  

Finally, if you have any ideas on how to make Midkar a better group, please let us know.

Bob S, Dan West, Jack Snead and Bob Eldridge (Bobeld), your moderators
