<< Hi, all - this is actually in answer to Chris Thomas' query. The internet "Forum" bulletin board at Classical Singer Magazine's website was permanently shut down yesterday by David Wood, Editor; when you try to access that part of the site, there is a lengthy explanation by him as to why - namely, trolls from the outside and flame wars by some of the anonymous regular posters. >>
Alas, this is not an uncommon situation. The Opera Oasis on America Online used to be a very lively and informative forum. But a prolonged wave of personal attacks prompted AOL to threaten to close the board down.
The Vocalist has been a model online community--lively, informative and friendly. It's a place where people can agree to disagree--and still have meaningful, spontaneous communication. It's truly a meeting of the minds.
Let's keep up the good work!
