Re: Pete Benson
I was wondering too; I have just checked, and he has not posted since January nor visited since March, so I have sent him an e-mail.

Re: Pete Benson
He's recording and posting on YouTube all the time. Mentioned in a recent comment he's gotta get back in here soon.

Hey - glad all is well with Pete !
However, I do have a question about another former chordie regular - Whatever happened to Gil ( the singer / guitarist from San Fran ) ? He sent me an email saying got banned, but no one ever gave him a reason why.
I thought he was a good dude.. always nice to my posts and requests.
Anybody know anything about him ?

That is a good question, he has never done any wrong things here.

Well this doesn't have anything to do with Pete, but seeing as how a couple of you have asked, I'll take a stab at answering your question about Gil.
As to what happened to him... he's still out there making music and selling his CDs on Acoustic Guitar Forum and likely elsewhere, you could find him with a look around. He should be aware about why he's not welcome here anymore because we had several conversations with him about it, before the decision to ban was finalized. If no body noticed, his links to his covers and website linked to a place where you were invited to buy CDs of his music (for like $15 if I remember correctly), and it all came down to the Chordie policy prohibiting Commercial Advertising (Spam). The question was : Do we make an exception because a person has been a Member for awhile, OR to we hold everyone accountable to the same standards as we do for those folks trying to sell sex-toys and escorts in Delhi..... No advertising, means no advertising ! He was asked to remove his commercial links a couple of different times and we either got no response or our requests went in one ear and out the other.
Nothing against the guy's talent, just tried to "bend the rules".

Re: Pete Benson
Great explanation, Doug ...
More than we need to know perhaps, but consistency of policy is a big part of what makes Chordie such a great site. I know it can't be easy at times, but kudos to you for the courage to keep things on track. This a free resource for all of us (and a doggone good one) so abiding by established parameters really shouldn't be an issue.
