    MBBL, I knew I could count on you for some humor. Thank you.


    :wink::smile: I like to think of it more as "Sage Wisdom".

    .....it's not, of course, but I can charge more for "Sage Wisdom".


    ...... that redhead is kind of cute, though.

    Well I have always been helpfull as well as being baited hook line and sinker!!! It happens from time to time I'll admit it.

    I'll take the car over the redhead as I'm sure there are plenty of other redheads down the road with owning a car like that!!!

    Just so you folks know, I'm not planning on leaving or threatening to leave. I'm trying to make a point.

    Many of you are car buffs, correct? OK, I'll put it to you this way. Let's say that you are the proud owner of a Ferrari.....like this one.....

    1957_Ferrari_250_Testa_Rossa_HR.jpg

    You drive it for years, you love it, you learn it, it's a blast to drive and it is dear to your heart.

    Then one day someone comes and keys it, slams a bat into two of the quarter panels and takes a knife to both of the seats. It's still dear to your heart, you still love it and it's still a blast to drive..........only because the damage is cosmetic but there is a different element among the midst. It's not quite what it was before and even though it's the same car?

    It makes you not even want to drive it.

    This is what I have seen recently on this forum. It's the same lovable core group. It's the same members that post consistently. It's the same members that rarely post and it's the same amount of new members that add [debatable/member dependent] to the conversation. Thing is, Club Polk seems to have been damaged lately.

    Club Polk, historically, has been a helpful place. A place to get real questions answered by those who have been there. Genuine, honest answers, suggestions and helpful hints or at the very least, directions on which way to steer. This constant *female dogging* and complaining with the constant rebuttals that hold no weight to the subject matter help this forum not one bit. Not one.

    So, I guess what I'm saying is that while you would not ever send your Ferrari to the junkyard so that you could get scrap metal from her.....you would try to fix her, no? Well, to many of us, CP is our Ferrari. Let's build her back to the beauty she is.

    Please?


    Nick Mason, Pink Floyd's drummer, has that Ferrari.

    He paid a fortune for it too.

    Personally, I think this forum is like anywhere else in life. There are always going to be people who for whatever reason are going to rub you the wrong way. How you choose to deal with it is up to you.

    I find this forum to be a invaluable resource, with some exceptional people who are willing to share their knowledge and insights. For example, I just bought a new to me Carver TFM-35 and it is not working. Heiney9 and Trietz3 quickly responded with some valuable assistance. Thanks again guys.

    Just like the heart and the lungs and the stomach, the skin is by definition an organ. Of all of the organs in mammals, the skin is by far the largest. This is why people with deep, massive burns are often not expected to live. A bodily organ is a collection of tissues that are structurally joined for a purpose. The skin is a marvelous model of indispensable function.

    Well, since the SPAM keeps bumping this thread? I might as well take this opportunity to thank all of you for cutting down on the unnecessary. When I made this post, I think I counted 8 threads in a row where folks were going at each others throats. It got old, quick.

    Anyhoo, thank you.

    Maybe this is why our parents generation was always "hush, hush" about politics. You didn't discuss politics because that was as personal as someones religious background. It was just thought of as "rude." Probably a smart unwritten rule, when you think about it. I can remember neighbors talking to my dad on election day, "Hey Ron, who'd ya vote for?" My Dad would grin at them and say "None of your damn business" and then smile at them; they got the hint.

    Religion, sex, and politics.

    Our parents were smart enough to notice that you can tolerate an awful lot about people, perhaps even enjoy their company socially, as long as you don't know those three things about them.

    MUCH more intelligent than their children, grandchildren...
