Hey,
I'm sick of the way the forum is moderated (it isn't), but occasionally there are some gems of knowledge. There are quite a few 'pro' guys there with real record labels and releases, it's good to listen to their stories because they have a level of experience that you can't get from people who make music as a hobby.
Plus, you get to read about how other people use the program differently than you to accomplish the same goals, it really opens your eyes. It's just a shame that there's so much flaming going on.
Take care,
Nick
