Dears,
I have absolutely no problem with a member promoting his/her website as long as the intention is altruistic rather than commercial.
We should welcome the efforts of those who have a desire to communicate their love of the instrument and its music.
With the economy as it is, and the inroads that electronic-midi instruments are making, we as pipe organ lovers and the pipe organ builders as an industry should welcome the efforts of individuals who wish to share their passion via the net.
I am a member of the OHS ( US Organ Historical Society) and the greatest challenge being faced here in the US is attracting the next generation, a generation who as future church goers will say Yea or Nea to the purchase of a new pipe organ or the restoration of their current instrument.
I am the proud father of a 14 year old who thinks organ music is for old farts.
If one individual, like David, can ignite a spark of interest when a casual web surfer (think teenagers) stumbles upon his site then the more the merrier.
If other members or the hosts of this forum feel differently please say so.
Perhaps a separate category could be established - e.g. "General Discussion", "The Organ and its Music", "Member Websites"
Regards,
Chauncey
