.First here's a cut from an artist I discovered from a MOG post a few weeks ago; http://mog.com/SUGAR_BLUE/blog_post/160864.Sugar Blue (still not sure if the post was by the artist or a fan). Well, the post inspired me to get some of my own Sugar Blue. Got this disc in the mail today and have listened to it twice so far. Great stuff! .One of many discoveries the MOG has brought to me that make me realize how much I've enjoyed this site. The MOG is really wonderful (and as some others have said, addicting)! .However, some issues with the site, gaseous pains, etc, have been frustrating and have made me a bit post shy of late. Today I discovered several of my trusted have joined a MOG Strike. Seems to me this sort of puts an official face on what has been many people’s, including mine, maybe subconscious reaction to recent stability problems. So, maybe I was already a bit on Strike. .That said, my experience with strikes, and I've been involved with a few, is they usually involve a fair amount of collateral damage. (And getting into semantic for a second, isn't this more of a boycott than a strike - who is labor and who management; isn't this more producer and consumer. Anyway…). .I agree with the fact that it is important that MOG set stability as a priority for the soon to come upgrades. This site is wonderful as it is; if it just worked right most of the time. Adding new features on top of an already unstable system just seems like asking for trouble. “A sound foundation is essential to all good construction.†So, I respect others saying “STABILITY ASAPâ€, even in a form I think maybe a bit counterproductive. I really do think the boys (and girls?) are working hard at it and frankly have been more upfront about issues than any other site I can think of, but worry that being typical geeks they maybe more excited to adding new features than building a sound framework. So….So, my feeling and reaction to this MOG Strike are mixed, the message is good, but not so sure it isn’t already understood… I guess, it’s a good thing I was already feeling personally reluctant to post lately. ..So, how far does this strike go? Am I OK if, after this post, I do what I’ve already been doing for a few weeks, not posting but continuing to read, listen and comment occasionally? Or am I going to be a scab (see this is getting messy already) if I continue to do even that? Not posting ain’t that bad, but not visiting could be really tough….RED BUTTONS = GoodYELLOW = Won’t Listen To
