Now Gentleman, if folks like you posted more substance related materials more 
often, perhaps the idle minds of the washboardist extraordinaire would once 
again feel intimidated into retreating to the OKOM Laundry Rooms or closets 
with their instruments to continue further woodshedding to make them more 
acceptable musically.

I personally posted several substantial pieces recently and had not one 
comment or reply of interest from any of the more substantial deep thinkers on the 
list.  So has Steve Barbone, and I have noticed they have pretty much gone 
ignored this month.

So let us hereby declare January as International Washboard Month, let them 
have the pleasure of teaching everyone else the finer points of Washboarding 
and they will soon enough retreat to the outer regions of the list with the 
banjo players for a month or two while the clarinet players have a go at it.  
Everyone gets a turn.


Perhaps we could bring back the substantially stimulating Non smoking vs 
smoking thread.

But now I know a lot of guys who do.
I may never do laundry again.
