Pierre,

 

I just found this website the other day. With the rare chance that I might not thank you again sometime, I wanted to say you right up front.

 

You are a very kind and sharing person. I know a lady that charges $20 a month to do what you are doing for us here.

HDuaneaz, you are very welcome. Fiddlershop (my new shop from Jan 2012) is benefiting from this site now. I really love what I am doing. :-)

Good afternoon, Mr. Holstein.

I am a four-day noob here on this site, but I too would like to thank you. Even after a quick tour of this site the care and dedication you have put in to it shines through.

Thank you for creating this site, for the videos, and for the forums. It has been wonderful to be able to step in and feel welcomed. I probably still wouldn't be learning anything if you hadn't created this site.

Oh, and thanks for answering my idiotic question regarding rosin over on youtube.

 I've noticed that people that are negative about others playing are often so because of their own insecurity. They feel by saying these things, they are somehow superior.
 
 

Oh so true, Pierre, and this crosses over into life in general.  Insecure people beget negativity.  I see it on a daily basis.
