There are certainly no warranties and no money back guaranties. Personally I am looking for this to be more like a society of blind pro tools users or something. I'd like it to be a meeting where people can come listen and chime in when appropriate. Maybe we could have a 10 minute section for those who have never tried PT; another 20-30 minutes of a presentation; a 15-20 minute time for people who are users to discuss the challenges and or nifty ways to use PT. Of course I'm looking for something that is flexible and yet honors peoples time. I have been in lots of these kinds of communities over the years and I have met some great folks who ended being great friends. We all need as much support as we can get. Hopefully even those who have been using PT since 5.1 can still get something out of it. Maybe they just enjoy teaching others; maybe they enjoy the socializing; maybe people end up doing business together. If it doesn't work out for people no big deal. I think we can all learn a whole lot from each other. --FC
