Your Biggest Regret On GMG?

[vandermolen]

Membership of this group has cost me a fortune and caused exchanges such as the following at home - 'OMG YOU'RE NOT ONLINE TO YOUR 'CAT GROUP' AGAIN?' - 'IS THAT ANOTHER CD IN THE POSTBOX?' etcetc). Having said that I have learnt so much and discovered some great new composers and made new friends. I have also been the recipient of great generosity (John/MI, André, 'J' and many others - thank you all). As to regrets, the abrupt and unexplained disappearance of cilgwyn (Iestyn) still puzzles me. He introduced me to Fricker's 'Vision of Judgment' for which I shall forever be grateful. No other real regrets though - a highlight was the meal I had with the two Johan's (Christo and Herrenberg) with my wife and daughter when my daughter was 'studying' for a year in Leiden in the Netherlands and more recently the visit of Johan/Christo to my house (get well soon Johan if you are reading this).

My biggest regret on GMG was the demise of snyprrr

We all make mistakes, we don't always learn from them.

Mainly (1) too much posting and time spent on political (and other non-music) threads.
To a lesser degree (2) Too much posting on off-the-run and largely inactive music threads.

For this, I'm truly sorry, but the sad reality of all of this is I'm not quite like this in real life

Kind of same thing with me, I am much nicer person in real life and my more abrasive nature on this forum may be result of my being almost completely unable to express my negative emotions in any way in real life. Not that it excuses bad behavior.

Nothing excuses bad behavior whether in real life or on the internet. It's a learning process and I'm just trying to do better. That's all.
