I feel this is rationalization for a Lord of the Flies kind of phenomenon, if a person walked into a party and made their first attempt to socialize in that environment and the dominant males by the watering holes surrounded that person and started clawing at the individual, this would be sad. It would suggest a (tightknit, not in the sense of freestanding natural closeness alone, but rather accompanied by an high sense of self worth psychological investment in who is in and who is out - essentially fear based mentality) party, without compassion or even the tact to welcome a newcomer(whether their first word are awkward or not): it would cheapen the party. how about it was meaningless and innocent. If they started posting ads daily for all kinds of band instruments and links to porn sites then by all means, I'll act like a baboon right alongside. But what some here are up to feels a bit more like a pre-emptive strike, rationalized by a kind of "well probably have some WMD they're getting ready to use". has Bush really been so influential to the human spirit? okay so someone starts out by saying anyone got a high end bass x for sale? so what? hopefully we have got enough raw content to sustain us without spiraling into this kind of trigger-happy caca, which by the way is a LOT more painful to sift through than if someone had posted half a dozen gear ads. For instance: I know it's been covered in a lot of ways, but can anyone suggest a testing regimen for a just-purchased simpletech 256 cfc on a repeater? (I'll post what i did and how well it worked on this and hopefully not other models) Someone said something about forwards and backwards recording in stereo? Very open to CFC testing tips. have to test it friday/sat of this week cause it's just before the return period is over. Why not let this whole thing go, welcome this member(welcome!) and move on already. thanks, glenn syc·o·phant ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sick-of ant) n.
