I dont know whether I should take your comment as insulting or flattering that you took the time to look at my profile. Thanks for your insight and comments. Professionalism at its best!!!!

And to Doc, yes I am aware of that misspelling but unfortunately I havent had the time to go change it. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

I chose you because I liked what I saw - such a lovely, classic beauty, who needs to be aware to save herself from these daily pitfalls, and there are so many right now. You can't be 'I don't understand'. You have an intensity to your look that is geared for success and I like that. Toni, I really only wish the best for you. Some of your posts over the last 40+ days belied what you were saying.
After 1 hour my OT: Poll got 365+ years of experience to reply. We have a great forum, believe me.It is a broad base of singing agent professionals. Did you see what some of these folks have done throughout their working lives? Amazing! I just know that they were watching someone else, I know I always did.

lol....ok Im going to post what I meant by not understanding why you veteran "seem" rude. I sent this in a pm to another poster but I will post this out in the open...

"I have been a veteran on other forums and messageboards and use to do the same thing with newbies until I realized that being on a board for x amount of years, yes, topics will be rehashed. I received a wake up call from a newbie who sent me a pm one day telling me how she respected my opinion and how that she admires my logics on topics BUT that she was intimidated and afraid to respond to me because she saw me rip into a newbie poster. That was a turning point for me because I didnt intend to hurt anyones feelings, I was just frustrated about the same topics over and over and realized that there will always be newbies and topics may repeat themselves as more newbies show up.

So then I looked at myself and realized that I didnt have to respond to EVERY single topic that came across my screen. So I became selective on what I posted. If I could contribute something and help out another person then I would do my best. If I had nothing to contribute positively I just moved on. I came across someone's signature that said "Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics, even though you win you are still retarded"
