Ronald,
As someone who is new to this list, did it ever occur to you that maybe
you shouldn't begin your involvement with this list by lecturing
everyone else on how it ought to be run?
This is not a moderated list, and people are free to discuss whatever
they deem appropriate. And LOTS of list members thought it was
appropriate to talk about the new features introduced in the latest
version of Sibelius, how it compares to Fin2k6, and how that might
impact Finale. If you didn't want to read those threads, you were
under no obligation to follow them.
If you want a moderated list where the word "Sibelius" is banned, fine,
go start your own. But don't just barge in here and tell all of us how
to run our community. That's pretty goddamned rude, and I very much
doubt you would do anything remotely like that in real life.
Cheers,
- Darcy

Cool down, Man! I have as much right to voice my opinion as any other

of the list. I have been very active in other forums for the past
several
years, taking part in discussions and helping novices with their
problems.
Just because I'm new to this list serve does not classify me as a
"lurker".
But whether I have a long and honorable record as an active Finale
supporter
still does not give you the right to judge me.
And what's the "thread cop" nonsense you're spouting? That's nonsense.
If I
want to read about Sibelius there are lots of places I can go to find
out
about the latest and greatest of that product. But this list is labeled
"Finale", not "Finale and any other competing product people care to
promote."

I must admit, I was surprised to see all the Sibelius notes on a
Finale
site. It's sort of like having a site for Windows users and having it
taken
over by Mac users. Or GM taken over by Ford owners. I'm glad Sibelius
users
like their product and want to talk about it, but I am not interested
in
reading them either.
Then don't.
Seriously, what is the point of this thread? The Sibelius discussion
was directly related to the future of Finale and the kind of features
and approach we'd like to see Finale emulate. If that's not an
appropriate topic for discussion, then what is?
And why is it always the lurkers who never contribute solutions to
Finale problems (or contribute to the discussion in any way whatsoever)
who feel entitled to come out of the woodwork to complain about
allegedly off-topic discussions? Who died and made you thread cop?
