In another thread, someone asked about the ability to selectively block users. While this forum software does not support it, it is possible: http://www.alembic.com/club/messages/449/40472.html This was a little experimental application that will killfile users. It requires Firefox and greasemonkey (as referenced above). | ||

Greg, This refers to a thread closed by our level-headed volunteer moderator, wherein some folks exchanged heated comments regarding Alembics in the studio. If you didn't catch it the first time, I wouldn't bother tracking it down, unless you would care to rehash the Fender P-Bass vs. Alembic Custom debate. Kevin | ||

I am against any form of censorship. No one makes me read, or respond to anything.  | ||

Craig; they are not talking about blocking anything from you or from others, only blocking stuff so that they themselves don't see it on their own screens. Like how I wish I could block the sports stories from my BBC News RSS feed; it would make it a lot easier to focus on the stories I want to see, and quicker to move through them all. But everyone else can still see the sports headlines, and read or ignore if they want. | ||

Craig, it isn't censorship for someone to create such a filter to apply to their own reading. People are just talking about blocking things for themselves, not for anyone else. | ||

Dave, you should be able to subscribe to specific feeds from the BBC news site, like Americas. Just open the section you're interested in, and start the feed from there. The geographical feeds unfortunately do contain sports items ... (Message edited by adriaan on July 02, 2009) | ||

Adriaan; I'm subscribed to the World Frontpage, which I find thoroughly covers world events. | ||

Seems to me that the fact Alembics are so widely used in Nashville studios speaks for itself. | ||

I can attest to that. I was in Nash playing for Jake Booker and before I left I asked, j-bass or Alembic. Need I say more? |
