“More advanced” is a pretty vague term and could be interpreted in various ways. I didn’t think Colin’s response was “terribly” sarcastic. That, too, may be interpreted variously. Find your own way and be peaceful with it. More on topic, get the basics down first, then embellish. On Sat, Apr 27,

Could you explain what it means to "vote people up?" It sounds like one would have to be "voted up" to be able to comment. I'm not sure I would call any of the discussions I've read flooded. On Fri, Feb 21, 2014 at 7:40 AM, Lindsay Morris wrote: > Today its 29

Re: [Callers] Dances licensed with CC or similar

2013-09-13 Thread Jim Thaxter
