Sounds about right, yeah.

The only real difference is that some bands are completely unashamed to admit that they have lots of mates, whereas other bands try and pretend that they don't rely on their mates. It's amusing, really.

The whole music business is based on friendships/relationships in some way pretty much, hence the whole its not what you know it's who you know, I'm not sure I've seen too many people here denying that they've had friends/contacts help them out. I'm not sure the arguement holds though as I very much doubt any band could last purely on their friends.

Please don't. Just ignore him. You're not a moderator on this site so please don't try and control what people post.

Stripey isn't anonymous, there's a few people (myself included) who know who he is. Just because you don't know who he is, doesn't make him a troll. There's no rule on this site that says Flash at the moorings has to know you before you can have an argument on Aberdeen Music.

OK I've gone through the members list and put half a dozen people on ignore. The only problem is that you still catch snippets when those people are quoted by others.

While we are on the subject it would be nice if it were possible to ban certain individuals from certain forums.

It's alright, I know you're not stripey and I'm pretty sure the other mods do as well.

Oh great... I set someone to ignore and I still get emails containing their worthwhile additions to the thread.

If you want people to leave the trolls in peace then please fix the ignore function so that it works properly.
