You can't get the archive back for Richard D, because he deleted all his threads; it's the thread-starter's prerogative to do that; and if you're a thread poster, you can delete any and all your posts...
There was some issue that came up, besides the usual couple of ******s who posted inane stuff that quickly got shot down by other folks:
It was one of the most awesome, no-holds-barred threads I've witnessed, and I didn't even keep on top of it that much.
He was such a giving, genuine person, and the majority of the posters were so enthusiastic and respectful; even the more "difficult" parties around here seemed to check themselves: A sight to behold.
But I think what happened was that b.s. politics reared its ugly little head:
1:
A few offhand remarks about "rockstars" were made, as most experienced
"been-there, done-that, made u a hit" engineers are wont to:
I gather some "blowback" occured, mostly from I'm guessing, industry groupies...
2:
People started to get personal with him, and he figured, "enuff, not worth the hassle" and shut the whole thing down.
I might be a bit off on specifics, but I think that's the heart of the matter.
Too bad; the topics got me thinking about, listening to, and even buying music I'm not normally all that interested in (T.P.) and expanding my awareness...
oh well; there's always his posts hidden within 2ndary threads, and quotes in other folks posts.
It was a prime example of the best that GS has to offer.
