That 'pro' thread should have retitled been retitled for sure.
Occasionally there are little outbreaks like that, but mostly I think its quite civil around here. I think we could be more newbie friendly. I've heard that this list intimidates most newbies, which is not a good thing, IMHO.
right -- I understand there is some emotional baggage with old-timers in a community I have run the .microsound list for ten years now and know the drill! ;)
also, let me say that although I might be a n00b to Pd I do come from the Max/MSP community (much less anarchic) and have 10+ years working with Max/MSP here's some info on me for anyone that's interested: http://cycling74.com/2005/09/13/an-interview-with-kim-cascone/ http://createdigitalmusic.com/2009/08/04/linux-music-workflow-switching-from...

just curious but is it normal netiquette on the Pd list to hi-jack other people's threads?
also, I find it odd that many people on the list were more interested in adding to the debate defining the term 'professional' (in posts titled -> Subject: Re: plugin~ external) rather than adding to the problem of [plugin~] not working properly
not criticizing - just an observation
the reason I'm devoting a lot of my energy to figuring out the [plugin~] external is because I'm editing the LADSPA chapter in the FOSS Pd manual online -->

and I want to make sure the text is a) true and b) easily understood by a n00b
