I don't think I have the power to ban him from the board--only to moderate the threads.

Done!

Martin, I believe you do have the power to do so. In the admin panel along the right side, you find the users name and click on it. This will take you to a page where you can edit his information, and the option to boot them is down near the bottom of the page.

And from now on, anyone who joins the board trying to push their spam crap will be called Douche Bag Spammer, and BANNED!

So, you don't want to hear about the new product I'm coming out with..... ?!

Bill, any product you come up with will be more than welcome here!

Mike, you're not really a douche bag spammer. Just a screwball!

not screwball.... just unusual, odd, weird, strange, and different.

those fit the personality and musical technique........

Which makes you right at home here.

i find screwball accurate.

Wikipedia disagrees with you TEK:

A screwball is a baseball pitch

Screwball may also refer to:

* Screwball (group), a hip-hop group from Queensbridge
* Screwball comedy, a type of film
* Screwball (ice cream), a frozen dessert
* Screwball (damaged musket-ball), a musket-ball removed using a ball-screw aka ball-puller
* Screwball is also a minor super-villain in Amazing Spider-Man book in Marvel universe

Dictionary.com would differ with you...

–noun
1. Slang . an eccentric or whimsically eccentric person; a nut.
2. Baseball . a pitched ball that curves toward the side of the plate from which it was thrown.

–adjective
3. Slang . eccentric or whimsically eccentric: What a screwball idea!

all I know is WTHell started this screwball thing up???

and I just tried an experiment using the search...holyHELL there are so many off topic entries by all of us for the past 2 years, I don't know how anyone new can find anything...lol

Now you Guys are just splitting hairs!

I mean screwball in the most positive sense--an artist is by nature somewhat whimsical, that's what makes them a free spirit, an individual who possesses talents that make other people think about their craft in a different way. So I think you're a total screwball. Because of how diverse they are, your videos inspire me and tons of others to break out of their molds and to try new things.

I kinda know that already, and I'm not upset, mad or trying to figure out what is going on here.

As you wish....weirdo!

ya ya ok..

"where'd you learn that SCREWBALL way to play"
"man, you play WEIRD"
"i've seen a lot of lefty's but that's DIFFERENT"
"eww, lefty playing is STRANGE"
"inverted looks DUMB unless Hendrix is doing it"
"hmm, that's ODD, your E string is on the bottom"

and probably 30 more...but I wanted to cover all the words in my previous post.

get's me the attention that keeps me happy because the majority of bassplayers in bands get no "airtime" at all..they just play .

No kidding, Mike! Tell me about it!

"You can't do that on a bass!"
"It's too loud. I can actually hear it."
"Why would you want to do that anyways?"
"What are you? A frustrated guitar player?"
"But bass isn't meant for chords and tapping!"
"Why would you ever want to ruin your bass with a trem?"
"Distortion doesn't belong on a bass!"
"Bass players aren't supposed to stand out! They need to stay in the background. Well....except for Billy Sheehan, John Gallagher, Randy Coven, Les Claypool, Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke, Victor Wooten Geddy Lee, Chris Squire, John Paul Jones, John Entwistle, Flea, Jerry Peak, Andy West, Michael Manring, Larry Graham, Bootsy Collins....but besides that....um....bass players aren't supposed to stand out!!!"

And so on, and so on, and so on, ad nauseum....
