Hello Kombrig,

Derek's reply to you shows me that I messed up as a forum moderator, as Derek was not offended by your critique. Please accept my apology for my over-reaction to your post.

I'm pleased to see that you have chosen to remain active in the forum, or should I say very active, given all of the MIDI files of your compositions that you have submitted to the forum today in so many style categories!

I see now that I should have talked with you about this privately rather than used the strong words I did publicly in this forum.

I strongly believe it's important that our criticisms of each other's music be friendly and constructive in this Share Your Music section. My mistake was that I incorrectly perceived your criticism to be unfriendly and destructive. It's clear from Derek's reply to you that I made a mistake in this perception. And even if a post in this forum is made in a poor and unfriendly spirit, I should discuss the issue privately, not in the forum. I hope I will have learned my lesson.

Again, please accept my apology.

Sincerely,
Mark
