Phil,
I would love to have Heather over here also and have talked to her about it. But the reality is she has had bad luck in forums before. She is a very attractive girl and has had some "creep' factors before, and also gets a little shy about sharing things she has done. She came over a few years ago but dropped out. Just doesn't really like to be a part of conversations.
In almost every writer who particpates in things like this, they often get into controversy's people with egos or attitudes that just run them off. There are people who drive them crazy privately and they sometimes even have to change email addresses. Some people who do this can be really jerks. We have them over here from time to time but they don't stay on very long. They feel like they have to "challenge' people and come on saying and doing all kinds of weird things. They just make people angry and create bad feelings.There is no reasoning with them, so we try to discourage them. Most of the time it is going off on topics that don't relate to what we talk about here, which is why I have always tried to keep this focused on music or the family type relationships. When it veers into anger, bitterness, politics, or other subjects,it just gets nasty.
She has dealt with some of that before and I think just wants to post songs and stay away from any controversy. but I will send her a message and see if she will join us.
