So in light of my recent milestone that John pointed out, I figure it's time for a Karma. There are conditions however. No, no post count limitations, no numbers to pick, and I won't ask people to flush the toilet on Pepsters head or make John a new tinfoil hat.:cheesygrin:
Simply state that your in and what you like about the forum, and also what you don't like. Now, regardless of what gets posted, no bickering or argueing. Make it as short and sweet as possible, no need for elaborate responses. Winner will be picked by my dog, yep...you heard that right, lets say next Friday on May 4th. Oh crap, almost forgot whats being offered up. Guess that nursing home isn't too far off.:cheesygrin:
How about a brand new pair of Mac ultra silver interconnects, rca ends.

Remember, flamers, mudd slingers, BS'ers get eliminated.

Cook karma, I'm in.
I like all the information that is avail. here and the great sense of humor most people have.

I would like to state that I am officially in.
I like this forum, and visit daily, because it is what officially got me into my audio journey. I've met some great people along the way that I consider friends. I dislike the bickering that often goes on - the back and forth that if, it were our children doing it, would probably have been stopped by us at post 2. Fortunately, I choose not to take part in it, and don't let it affect me too much.

In,
Great Karma TonyB. I like all of the good info and the fact that I have met some really great people with similiar interests. I don't like the pissing matches that sometimes develope here and the fact that some folks can be hard on newbies. We were all newbies at one time. Thanks!

In and thanks for the opportunity.
Pro - Excellent source of information both audio and otherwise. Questions are always met with entertaining and usually informative responses.
Con - Occasional bickering and posturing that plagues most forums. Can be ignored, so not a big deal.

Great karma, and thank you
Likes, community, fraternity, helpful nature of most here, people whose kindness has been such a welcome surprise to deb and me.

Obviously they are in the tiny minority, but dont they seem to work very hard around here.humpty dumpty was pushed
