Brian,

First, truly enjoyed meeting you and Sandy in Santa Ana. Thanks for the effort and fine production.

Regarding the boards, I am in favor of one lyric Forum for a couple of reasons:

(1) As mentioned earlier, some new folks go to Forum 1 or Forum 2 to post and get few, if any, critques. Thus they perceive either apathy or cliquish prejudice and, for either reason, just go away and don't come back.

(2) Folks with dial-up Internet service are at a distinct disadvantage if we go with more than one Forum. The time it takes for a new page (Lyric Forum or whatever other forum) to load is substantial. That is a very real and verified problem. I am very fortunate to have high speed broadband. But, many folks either can't afford it, or it isn't available where they live. Thus, having more than one Lyric Forum would put them at a substantial disadvantage for additional participation and/or involvement.

(3) For practical purposes, we are currently utilizing but one board anyway, so I don't think we would see any degredation in the effieciency of the board.

Thanks for asking our opinions.

Alan
