Hello,

I've been reading this board for a year and some now, without having had prior to now anything genuinely interesting to contribute - seems you all are asking/answering pretty much the same questions I encounter. But now I think I have a question some of you will find entertaining.

I heard smoke is bad for speakers/equipment. Why is that? What if I smoke 6 feet away from the speakers, is it still a problem?

It's hard to remember which hat you're wearing sometimes when you run a session. Some engineers are frustrated musicians or producers. You hafta walk a thin line. Does the group want your suggestions? Do you get pissed off if they don't listen to your ideas (or turn them down)?
