I was referring to the VERY OPEN THREAD posted recently. However, I must apologize. That was Nashville Phil who did that. And although I'm not convinced that Nashville Phil and you, weber, are not one in the same ... I must recant my statement. And your last statement confuses me. Are you trying to say that you're curious about how pathetic you are? I don't get it. #99 I understand they were brought up in the first post of THIS thread.

And your last statement confuses me. Are you trying to say that you’re curious about how pathetic you are? I don’t get it.

You seem to have a problem understanding punctuation. Periods do not suggest a question has been asked. Here, I'll break it down so you can more easily understand. Pathetic is just who you are, no matter which name you post under. (period) There's plenty of people here who post on both sides of the argument, intelligibly. (period) Yet, you insist on waging personal war on the Unthanks, even in threads where they had yet to be brought up. (period) If they really are -- as you put it -- unprofessionals, slobs, and a joke in this industry, why are you so infatuated with making sure everyone knows? (question mark) Maybe you're just one of the very few who think that. (period) That's a pathetic existence. (period) If you're really doing better than me, or anybody for that matter, get outside, buy a Krispy Creme doughnut and do something with your life. (period) #97 That’s funny.

Deon and I may disagree on some issues, but he has never been disagreeable. No two people see eye to eye on everything.....my wife and I are living proof, but we still love each other. You may not agree, you may wish it not so, for any number of reasons you may feel are valid, but the Unthanks have, very likely the most popular SG website on the 'net. They sell advertisement on their pages, just as Singing News does, and just as every newspaper, billboard, radio, broadcast channel, and a myriad of other media outlets. Some of the people who buy ad space in these places would be well advised to not spend their hard earned money on advertising, but it is their choice to do so. Why we would spend time questioning their logic, or the Unthanks motivation for having a web site in the first place, is well beyond me. It seems there are far better things we could do with our time. I think their favorite style of SG music is vastly different than mine, but that does not make them my enemy, for they are still my friends.

You’re pathetic.

I have to wonder if it is indeed the Dove Brothers' "Didn't It Rain" or the old spiritual that the Mike LeFevre Quartet/Priority did on their "Nothin' But Good" project. I think the latter is more likely for EHSS to do, although hearing them modernize the DB version would be very interesting. I met Deon, Amy, and Susan at NQC (never did get to meet Chris) and all three of them seemed genuinely nice. I may not agree with everything they do, or how they run their site, but I didn't pick up on any rudeness or bitterness with any of them. #88: What was the source?

Actually if you paid attention, the groups were not the point, the point being stated by other posters. geezzzzzz #92 Oh curious one, I did apply for a job with the Dough boys quartet, needless to say when I didnt get the job, the feedback was my hair was to long for gospel music.

Birds of a feather, they say,. One might ask, "Well how did they loose credibility in gospel music"? It all starts when you take the first dollar from an artist that you has no chance, no talent, and more money than common sense.

I guess, since they are the compiler and manufacturer, they probably have the right to do that. I don't think we can claim they didn't want to promote OTHER labels, though, as at least half the project is artists from other labels (or independants). Not that anyone said their motive was to omit the competition, but some folks might read that between the lines. #86 & #87 — It may have had to do with Crossroads wanting to promote their own artists on the dvd?

Looks like the Dove brothers will be turning into a cover band for SSQ before long. I heard that Ernie Haase and the boys were recording “Didnt It Rain” on their new album.

That is only a guess. I understand they didn't include Gaither or EHSS either. I'm sure anytime someone wants to make up a compilation album it requires making arrangments with every record company involved. Then there is the whole matter of royalties, and all the legal stuff. And no artist or group wants to risk lose their own CD sales because fans are buying their song from someone else.
