    Thanks for the love, you wild bunch. I look forward to getting into the fray on a daily basis. This, I'm not too excited about:

    Welcome Jon.
    And as the newbie you get to pick up the check at Ruth's Chris in Baltimore during Polkfest this year.
    How cool is that?

    Neat, great to hear, and kudos to Polk for taking the time and going to the effort to announce it here. This speaks volumes of the rapport 'twixt Polk and its audience/customers... and I wanted to go on record as saying I appreciate that.

    Welcome and best of luck!

    Welcome Jon,

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.

    Welcome Jon.

    It is part of the Polk culture for all new employees to buy the first 2 rounds of our choosing.

    The idea behind Russian Roulette is to play with just one round, but I guess that would be a mute point given the fact that you Chitown Boys like to play that game with something other than a revolver.:lol:
    :cheesygrin:
    Welcome aboard Jon, and hold on to your wallet, as we have many creative ways of lightening them considerably.:razz:

    The iTrader functionality is pretty much dead due to the fact that it is not compatible with the latest version of vbulletin software we are running. I will keep an eye on the plugin. Once it is updated then we can begin to use it again.

    Either that, or perhaps we can just go back to the old version. The new look sucks anyway.:razz::cheesygrin::lol::wink:

    Cool. Thanks for letting us know. I will stop harrassing you about it now and refer everyone to that post when they moan about it being broken as well :smile:
