May I intervene? I want everybody in the Aural Moon family to get along, at whatever level is comfortable. Being friendly is ideal, but tolerating each other is a minimum.
Everybody who contributes to the Moon is appreciated, and please read nothing into the order in which I address concerns.
Avian founded AM, and I would turn over operations to him on his request, at any time. I wouldn't be here without him. If you annoy him, you've annoyed me. That's outside the issues in this thread, but it's a fact.
Vax hosting the web page and providing the bandwidth is huge. I don't know what it costs him, but it saves me $60/month. The $300/month I mentioned in an earlier post is after that, however.
As far as shows go, I like all of them.
Sean's may be my favorite. His depth of knowledge, attention to detail, and systematic way (country by country) of addressing the prog scene works really well for me. I like your voice Sean, and appreciate the fact that you actually pronounce French correctly. (Je parle un peu.)
Rick's show is probably the most popular. That may be due to the incredible amount of posting he does, but that doesn't change the fact that people like it. I enjoy the fact that he often brings in music not on the moon.
Cozy's show is great. He's turned me on to a some great artists, and I think he strikes a good balance bewteen the "playlist" and "FM show" extremes.
I've always loved fusion, so I like Moses' show.
To be honest, the Gags was my least favorite show until I met Tom. Sitting with him at Nearfest, I got a good insight into how much passion and energy he puts into the show. I do wish we could edit out the commercials, but it's a fair price to pay.
If you have any concerns with your status/standing at AM, please e-mail me directly. If you have issues with someone else, also e-mail me directly. Otherwise, PLEASE "play nicely with others"
