Composers are a fickle bunch...that is to say that I think they are.  I don't really have a ton of composer friends.  Which is to show my point and I'll say no more.

I'm going to let you read this, (from a website launched 4 days ago) which was sent this morning to all 2,500+ members (including me) of this facebook group.

A few questions: 1) Can composers be friends? 2) Can composers engage in constructive dialogue with each other? 3) Does the fact that thousands of composers swamped a facebook page seemingly in the spirit of congenial solidarity, only to pound the group's wall with advertisements for their own material show a bit of desperation?

I'd quit the group, but I want to see how this turns out.
