I agree with you kirk.

When I first started posting in the Forum the most popular threads were "What are your 3 fave Pink Floyd Tracks" or "What are your 3 unfave Yes tracks" that sort of thing. I've seen it grow to a point where meaningful intelligent discussion ensues from what might, at first, seem a vey innocuous beginning.

Mostly this is done with good humour but like all families, and I firmly believe that this is what Aural Moon has become, there are the odd moments of sulking and tantrem throwing. This is good and natural.

As for the cliqueishness (is that a word?), every forum I post to has it's band of regulars. I think that's probably because they just happen to be the ones who feel the most passionate about their subject.

Anyone visiting Aural Moon's forum would generally, I think, be impressed with the intelligent discussion and the humour that goes into it. I feel there is a good balance here and we don't take ourselves so seriously that we're not averse to having the piss taken out of us if we make a bit of a screw up from time to time as will always happen.

Of course, the reason that I post so often is really that I've got too much time on my hands and should go and get a proper job......
