First of all, there's "The Lounge" for the pub atmosphere. I propose no changes to that part of the site.

More importantly, it's not only two people with a problem. If walls could or would talk, many other dissatisfied legitimate visitors would be heard. Of course the relatively low volume of posts per registered member ought to make that clear. Also, as far as I can tell, there are few if any similar websites where the situation would be better for us who want more active, pleasant music discussion. The needs of many are not being met.

Much of this site could be cleaned up with little or no loss of enjoyment to the currently satisfied members, except for those who would need to work harder (at clean-up) or be sanctioned for rules violations. Maybe some old-timers would make new friends as a result of increased traffic. Why not try it my way?
