Re: Who's Our Daddy (grand that is)

I don't think the pros have an inflated sense of self here, and they are under no obligation to share anything with the participants in this forum. They haven't posted here to exchange ideas with each other. They can do that in the back of the orchestra or privately.

Such an attitude is exactly why many have chosen to take their balls and go home. It looks like ingratitude from the perspective of someone who gets as much as $200/hour for their time in the "real world". Would we be so quick to tell a doctor to pound salt in a medical forum, or a lettered physicist in a quantum mechanics forum? If we seek precise guidance on a topic, would we rather get that advice (for free) from Greg Smith, or from a lurker with only a passing familiarity with the clarinet?

Mark, I agree that nobody is beyond questioning. Art doesn't live and grow if it isn't challenged. Still, a little respect or even deference shouldn't be out of the question for those of substantial achievement who put their full credentials out there. For some, the name should suffice (Larry Combs, Greg Smith, John Moses) and for others a link to CV might be appropriate. Either way the content of this board is far richer with their participation than without.

From that great tome Jurrasic Park (paraphrased):

God creates dinosaurs. God destroys dinosaurs. God creates man. Man destroys God. Man creates dinosaurs. Dinosaurs eat man.... Woman inherits the earth.
