While I occasionally post tunes here (rather disappointed that I got
no comments on 'Clockworks'). I'm more inclined to post the links on
LAM, and frequently go there to see what others are doing. On the one
hand I think it's a pity there is no facility for making comments, but
at the same time it results in a very clean site where you can quickly
find what's there.

Also, I like to get Linux Audio out to the 'others'. I am quite well
known on the KVR music cafe and on Kara Moon. Both are very active
forums (especially KVR) and you can get a lot of good ideas and
suggestions there. Also the competitions are good for spurring you on
to move outside your comfort zone.

Although I like this dedicated LAU list, and have picked up a lot of
useful info here, I think we should beware the risk of becoming elitist.
