    It's a poll, dude. A poll of this forum. How can it be tainted? What are you 20?

    I think his point is that audiophiles typically are older and this reflects in the membership of CP.

    Shoot I wish Al was twenty that would bring back down into my 30s!:D

    no i'm not 20.

    if you take a poll of a captive audience like we have here.. this forum tends to attract mostly men and mostly in their 30's, 40's and 50's. so it would not be accurate. do you understand.

    Same thing would be if a poll was taken on who owns a turntable. Well we all know a good large percentage of the younger people in this forum probably do not own a turntable. So the results would be similar to this poll. capiche

    I am 61 but rather new to decent audio. My brother gave me a pair of RTA12c's last summer and I found you guys trying to find some info on them. Since then I was able to pick up a pair of SDA 2B's. Neither set is going anywhere soon.

    Well, with over Fourteen Thousand posts to the forum I did not think a curmudgeon was it the wings either.

    I understand that a Poll was presented to "this forum". A poll for "How old are SDA owners?" (if you will reference the OP). What is it that you do not understand? Accurate for you or the OP'er?

    So what, somebody wants a poll! A poll is, a sampling or collection of opinions on a subject, taken from either a selected or a random group of persons, as for the purpose of analysis.

    Not your poll brother. Verstehen Sie?

    19 years of age. Low-S# SDA-1's.

    Just to restate, I'm the young buck who threw off the poll. As I said, I'm 19. I picked up the SDA-1's last year (used CRS+'s prior to that) and been hooked since. After buying SDA-1's, I bought a pair of Monitor 5-II's to use in my dorm.

    From where I sit it looks like you've got it in for dangerboy. He made a simple statement. He qualified it with why he made the statement . . . you seem to want to keep jabbing at him and nitpicking. WTF dude!?! chill pill time! or a chilly drink might do!

    Why is it that when some one is on the attack they always resort to mentioning a person's high post count like that is some type of character slur or crime or whatever the attacker want to associate with high post counts?

    Dude a high post count indicates lots and lots of participation in the forum, nothing more, nothing less.

    Now attack my post count!

    Don't look from where you sit, I am attacking your high post count ->

    This,, is madness.

    My statements must all be irrelevant*. You did not even post them in your attack on me.

    ok,,,,,, well,,, I am sorry you feel that way. That sir, is your choice, not mine.

    This is a poll, not a debate. Please refer to the OP.

    Dangerboys' high post count would mean to me that he is a good resource of this forum, been there done that got the t-shirt kind of thing. My bad. What is your definition of participation, to speak for dangerboy?

    I am sorry dangerboy that I have offended you in any way. Hearingimpared states that I have done this. Therefore, I sincerely apologise** for my unkind actions towards you.

    I can guarantee*** it will never happen again.

    I will have no more of this.

    Good Night Gentlemen, and Good Night to All. May everybody have a GREAT Friday!
