One of the things I love about melnet, is the opportunity to recieve and give encouragement, appreciations, feedback and even suggestions. I find that this has greatly increased my energy for playing and my own self confidence. (As at my session I have often felt relatively incompetent, and sometimes discouraged -- they are the brilliant Cyser crew).
I notice that I have often held back from posting felt appreciations on Melnet, for TOTM and ThOTM, as I don't want to be posting several times every day. So I've decided that I will be generous in posting feedback, but directly onto the hosting site such as youtube. i'll only post appreciations onto melnet exceptionally.
So if you rarely see an appreciation from me on melnet, it's not that I'm being mean..... I'm posting it elsewhere. And of course the messages stay on Youtube indefinitely and add to your Youtube stats (if you care about such a thing... of course I never look there
