    Welcome to CP stereorob, I am not prejudice but yes be carefull of people that are over protective of their CP world. Start wisely and slowly here at CP as some have their own ways to get you banned if your newbie opinions offends and-or threathens them. Get people to know you, get familiar with you and blend in.


    Cheers!

    I agree!!! TK there are times you should have been banned if memory serves me right. Did these people you speak of get you banned?? NO!!

    Out of line comment IMO!!! You should be banned for making such a stupid comment. Club Polk is not run this way...

    Welcome StereoRob!!!

    Absolutely not true. You are still here. Would you share some examples of what you are saying? Just one would be enough.

    Welcome StereoRob!

    Thanks for introducing yourself. Few people would be up front about being banned somewhere else, so thanks for being honest. I'm sure everyone will give you a chance, and you'll find good freinds here - as long as you treat others the way you want to be treated. ;)

    FACE PALM, head slap!:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: How's coming in here and in three posts attacking another member being humble? TK you are out-of-line again and you are still here.

    Although I've read your out-of-line posts stereorob, in another thread here, I say Welcome to CP.

    He's the one that stupidly hooked up like 50 sets of speakers on 25 vintage recievers (all at once) in his mobile home and caught it on fire because he just wanted to see if he could do it. :rolleyes:

    That kind of idiocy will not be well received here Rob, so if you are here to share and contribute and have meaningful interaction, welcome!

    If not, you won't last long.

    Fred, there is a thread here referencing the idiocy he performed and is so well documented at AK.

    Here's the CP thread referencing the AK thread

    I think by your own admission you might have just earned a ban here, too. Good luck! :)

    P.S. Where are my manners? Welcome to CP! :D

    The thought, too dumb for words comes to mind. Has it ever crossed your mind to check the members list to see if Ken is listed as a member here? You mention that your not here to start trouble, what exactly is your agenda here?

    REGARDS SNOW
    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D
