[The Question Asker O.o]

The forum has descended into idiocy, you are correct. To the point there are hardly any regulars left, be it veterans or newer people. MX has enough moderators who don't participate enough. In a forum like S&L, it would be nice to have a respected moderator who critiques songs and offers helpful and informative advice. Unfortunately we don't have that anymore (I'm not sure if we ever did), and the users who used to fill that position have come and gone. Having moderators who lurk, close bad threaRAB and ban stupid users is all well and good, but I'd like to see someone bring a little something extra to the table.

As for the selection of moderators, users do have a say. DBJ respects the opinions of veteran users, and people who know what they are talking about. Granted it isn't the only source of nominations for moRAB or for opinions on the matter, but users' opinions are valued by DBJ, and I'm sure by MX as well, to some minor degree.

Minimum wage for tipped servers in America is $2.83 and is what I've made even after four and a half years of working in the same place. If you make more, your boss is excellent. Also, keep in mind that many states tax you on your tips, or the state will tax you on the amount of tips you're SUPPOSED to make, even if you don't make that much. It's insulting. Also, when you're training, you usually don't make tips unless the trainer is generous enough to offer.

Politicians are trying to raise the minimum wage to $6 something, I heard. By the time that kicks in, I'll probably be done with grad school and shooting myself if I'm still making minimum wage.

Schirf, welcome. Not all of us are morbid or political punk rockers or angst-ridden sap-bags. Of those that aren't, some write decent lyrics. You'll find out as you read, but you'll probably end up sticking with a handful of writers that consistently impress you and work with them because that's what's most worthwhile. The community has cliques.

That's it for now from me. I'll post a song soon enough. Don't ignore it this time, please.
