    The whole bunch of you that have attacked intangible......just don't get it do you? Then you threaten me and I am now ignored? You call me arrogant when the attacks on intangible are the definition of arrogance?!! I am glad to leave and I will be just fine tweaking my SDA 1's. If you do not understand why your conduct in this thread is unacceptable and intangible tried to point this out.....good luck to you. You that have attacked intangible must be pretty small men, in your work, your home and socially as intangible eluded too.

    Wow, one of the best threads here mucked up by some one associating a stone with tone. First and foremost, I and others have not threatened anyone. Also, you zeroed in on ????

    Post 130 and 131 are classic examples of this thread, this forum, and it's class. There are others of course.


    I chose not to ignore you although I should have. Who the heck am I? Who cares. You get more than you put in here. It's a forum. It's been around for thousands of years and the principle ideas have not changed. There are differing opinions, that is a given. For the most part I hope you are otherwise ignored. Was there something you came here looking for that is so aweful that you have to leave in a firestorm among unfounded accusations? There is no purpose to your posts and I will not respond to any more. I am new to forums in general but now I see why there are those that remain silent, and those that raise the "troll" alarm.
    DarqueKnight said a great thing that supports a lot of his opinions, careful and consistent listening will help your ears evolve, or something like that.

    It's good advise for evolving other things as well.

    Here's something pretty funny to cap out (hopefully) this Segway, my wife who is 10 years my junior and is one generation removed from being born with a computer in hand has this entire time thought "lol" means "lots of love" she had no idea it means laugh out loud! I'm not kidding! She thought everyone was just sharing the love in almost every email, text or letter! She would read something, laugh and say "lots of love". I thought she was just kidding and putting in her slant.

    Lmao as I'm writing this. Even her grandmother knows lol!

    Lots of love!

    Love the response Keiko, perfect.

    Toooooodooooooolooooo

    This is completely strange. Again, no one was throwing out personal attacks on anyone. I do find it very strange you brought this thread up again for the reason(s) you did. Interesting, and somewhat predictable.

    Maybe that where the queens of the stoneage got their name from? I guess they should have called themselves drama queens of the stone of toneage.:razz::razz::lol: (And yes, that's a joke and not a personal attack for any other "drama queens").

    I gotta ask, how is that possible? The word "snug" come to mind. You don't need to ratchet them down like you are preventing a leak on the Titanic :cheesygrin:

    Lol. The screw just wouldn't catch for some reason, so I gave it a little love and it that jacked up the screw and ring hole. I did the PR push test and it's still a good seal, so I'm in no rush but I'd like a new one anyways :)

    You didn't think the first set was worth the money now you want another?? Drilling through the wood on the CRS's is not the same as drilling through the wood on your 2B's you have to drill very slow and take your time, and after the nice things you have said??

    And where did I all of sudden become your homie??

    Thnk God for real Dad's! I love my Dad and feel so sorry for those who've had to learn the hard way.

    He was a metalurgist and top structural design and test engineer (now retired) for a large aerospace company and he managed an entire test department that brought hundreds of landing gear designs from drawing board concept to flight deck and runway reality.

    I could tell the difference between UNC and UNF by the time I was 4, and had a tap and die set of my very own. I knew about case hardened bolts and how to measure them with micrometers, and how to use inside and outside calipers. I played on his metal turning lathe in his "hobby shop" where he also had an arsenal of very cool and specialized tools. (I have fond memories of my brother and I winning a lot of Pinewood Derby's and making lots of cool science projects.)

    I get a good chuckle out of threads like this :smile:

    Sometimes I wish my dad would have taught me things like that, but I'm sure glad he taught me how to play golf and how to love one women and take care of a family. We're celebrating his 47th birthday today :)

    That was a real touching story. It brought a tear to my eye just to think that while other 4 year old kids were getting model trains sets, GI Joes and roller stakes you were getting a tap & die set and micrometers. Actually I laughed until I cried. Thanks for sharing man.

    Alright, I over reacted. I have thicker skin I hope. I deserved the critcism. I have been learning from you guys. I enjoy reading your posts. If I ever have anything intelligent to say or ask......I hope you will let me chime in.

    Stone of Tone comes from Harvey "Gizmo" Rosenberg. One of his articles he wrote was titled Stone of Tone. I prefer Tube Amps for 2 channel music listening. I miss Harvey. I always enjoyed his writings in Listener Magazine. His web site lives on and I like to visit from time to time and revisit his words. Well, no further hijack of this thread.....just wanted to be cool.
