Hey Brandon.

[csiscs]

Sorry dude but I'm gonna have to call you out on this 'Turbo members' thing, maybe to some of your 'fans' it seems like a really cool idea, but it isn't, it's gay and anal and sends all the wrong messages.

Or maybe the right ones, I'm starting to wonder.

So basically you have set up private little threads for buyers of your book?

Do the words ego and maniac mean anything to you at all?

Little wonder there are B roads in Shetland that see more traffic than this site.

The Turbo forums are related to the content of the book. Sounds like a good marketing concept to me. Lots of publishers do something similar. I guess your problem is you've known Recording Review before the book, and so you feel hard done by being locked out of something because you didn't buy the book.

I don't understand where ego and maniac come into it.

Sorry man you are totally wrong here. Getting privilages to a web site by paying for a product has been a long standing tradition for software sites and others.

I am guessing that you sent Brandon a sizable contribution to help with the cost of running this site right? That of course would certainly give you the right to bitch about being left out.

WTF are you talking about?

'left out' maybe you missed the post where I requested 'if I buy your book, please don't make me a Turbo member'

Cos I don't wanna be a gay and anal member.

what is gay and anal about it.

You're the only one complaining about added value for a purchase.

Look guys, I'm not pissed, I'm not complaining, I saw what I thought was something pretty gay and anal, so I pointed it out, ain't that what you're supposed to do on a bbs?

Amusing is what you guys seem to be missing, I found it amusing, if you are embarrassed by this and feel the need to get all defensive, fill your boots, just makes it funnier.

Shit, I hope I'm not being a troll about this?

I thought it was fuckin funny ok, and gay and anal

[csiscs]

My rep's gone all red, man that's just devastating.

Sad bigots abound.

I may (or may not) be Gay.

I may, or may not be "anal".

But I don't go around badmouthing gays, or colored folks, or Jews.

And I can't help but wonder - if you're so worried about becoming a Turbo member, it's because you're worried about being called "gay and anal".

If the cap fits, wear it fella!

At least that's an attempt at humour, well done, didn't hurt did it?

For the record I'm a gay, colored, half jewish Scotsman who likes a bit of anal.

Just don't ever call me 'Turbo'

Don't be bad mouthing the big guy. If it wasn't for him many guys(like me) wouldn't have found a really friendly community to learn about home recording.
