    I talked to him a couple of weeks ago.
    He said all is well, and is staying busy with church activities.

    Good for him, no better way to stay busy.

    He seems to have embraced the power of the Lord, and all of his activities are directed there now. I keep in contact via Facebook. He is putting his energies into spreading the word.

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it.

    I'm glad to hear you and Janey or doing OK. I can certainly assure you many shelter dogs and cats are not. I hope your "re-prioritization" includes ending your personal exploitation (breeding) of animals for your own personal financial gain.

    I would be very heartened to hear one or the both of you are now volunteering at a shelter and doing something more positive in your lives with respect to our animal companions on this earth.

    Sorry to be a ****. You are probably a pretty nice guy, I just have strong feelings about what you do.

    Humbled by this thread and thanks to all that sent emails. Janey and I are doing OK. Decided on the need to re-prioritize our lives God has given us and surrendered them to Christ. The Lord is now first in my life before anything else. I'll be around and hope all of you are well and prospering. Will keep every member on this board in our prayers.

    Take care and God Bless,

    Whats all that gotta do with taking a few minutes to take a quick glance at an audio forum and responding to the odd thread ?

    Its good that you say you found God, maybe it will reflect in future posts ?

    Chris,

    I believe your personal opinions of the way Mike raises Pomeranians are completly misguided and unfounded. You sir are an idiot for your accusations. It is well known how much Mike cares for Pomeranians and animals in general and if you spent more time getting to know the participants on this forum you would know that. Please take your accusations elsewhere.

    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Not sure what you mean by "odd thread." But I just happened to pop in and see this thread, and I've recently gotten several emails asking about us also. Just wanted to express publicly that my wife and I are doing well and have focused our energies elsewhere. I was simply conveying our gratitude to everyone for their thoughts and to let everyone know we're doing OK. Hope this helps answer your question.

    Mike, flush the turds down the drain. PFB is an idiot, no need to explain yourself and the other guy is a bottom feeder.
