Yes, of course I am glad to see young players seeking the advice of the more experienced; I would only like to see a bit more respect shown for the age, experience, and achievement of very busy and accomplished professional musicians (I have the age and experience, but not so much achievement - I play mostly for fun). If you will read my posts, you will find that I have been very polite to all. However, there have been many posts that have shown little thought before posting, even less research in the archives, and no appreciation of the value of having top pro players answer questions. This is a very special and precious thing, and like the Genie's wishes should not be used for the very trivial.
For the record, it is really NOT my wish to 'run anybody off'.
