No they won't.
They'll never find the link at the bottom of the page.
They'll go to the other forums and when those communities get tired of them, they'll send them over here.
We probably have until mid-February at the earliest.Expert Moron Extraordinaire

LOL. The real problem is at the gym. Every freaking year someone makes a New Year's Resolution to get into shape. Every freaking year you have to teach gym etiquette to newbies. "No. This bench is not here for you to sit on." A couple of months later, and 99% are history. LOL.Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable

ha....you know I owned that sucker. Road like a Caddy and very comfortable but that engine was garbage and always in need of something, like most Chrysler cars.

Yea..me too...That system was so screwed up..their own factory techs couldn't get it right...got rid of mine for a 78 Bronco...but the ride..when it ran was very good..agreed!! -
Everybody was new at one time.
You have 88 posts here, buddy. Half of them are lectures to the community. Cool your jets on the piousness. We have enough of those types around here already. Don't need anymore.
The only thing post counts matter for is knowing how much you've been involved here. Your join date is September of this year. I know I'm not the only one wondering "Who's this guy?". Why don't you get to know people before you start jabbering at them? 'Cause it comes off like you're judging people before even giving them a chance. Makes people wonder why they should give you a chance. That's the problem with "new people" that this thread is about. Yeah, we were all new here at one time but you still are and you're not exactly endearing yourself.
This has been a public service announcement by me.

Come on now, I don't think jstas was implying that at all. Take some time to get to know some of us, if you have helpful knowledge or experiences on certain pieces of equipment ,chime in. We were all new here at one time, but we also knew to respect those who have attributed many years of experience and knowledge to the Club Polk forum and be appreciative to learn from them.Ok. So I should shut up sit in the corner and raise my hand. And perhaps in 10-12 years be allowed to interact? That might work for some, but not for me.

This used to be a much bigger problem when more Big Box stores sold POLK! Now that most of those are gone and Polk seems to be defaulting to online sales, I wonder how much traffic we will get in this coming season?
The other question is: How healthy are Polk sales at the moment compared to that period? I don't know. I do know they've introduced a lot of lower end (pricing wise) wireless devices, Desktop speakers, music serving, soundbars, and H-phones. But how much can you make from "accessories" alone without the sales of bigger ticket items?

Apparently a lot CNH. Profit margins may be bigger on bigger ticket items such as speakers, but you can sell a lot more lower ticket items. Especially to a segment of your consumer base that doesn't exactly put a priority on quality audio. We have Walmarts...and Macy's for a reason.

Sorry if I vented it's just that Jstas attacked me without provocation. Well come to think about it, I haven't attacked anybody for that matter.
Attack you?
LOL!
Whatever. I told you that you're being a self-righteous tool and I'm not the only one who noticed. Your stay here is what you make it. You want to have fun, lose the pious victim motif.
I didn't attack you but man do I have you pegged already. You should change your name to la2victim.Ok. So I should shut up sit in the corner and raise my hand. And perhaps in 10-12 years be allowed to interact? That might work for some, but not for me.
That's hilarious. Maybe if you hung around 10-12 WEEKS and had more than 88 posts shoving your piousness down everybody's gullet you'd get more slack before someone told you to lighten up, Francis.
I warned you, for your own good, that's all.
I really wish I had my bozo list back.

So did I and the worst part was I sold a perfectly good 1967 Olds Delta 88 for it. What the heck was I thinking

Man, loved those old Delta's.....and before that it was the Delmont wasn't it ? Big engines, nice ride...and frickin' dependable as all hell. Oldsmobile built some solid cars back then. Of course who could overlook the 442...nice chick picker upper.

Khan Noonien Singh cast quite a figure in the original Star Trek episode. Ricardo also did some body building with the York Barbell boys in Pa. There is a shot of him and, I believe, Bob Hoffman and the boys; with Ricardo looking pretty buff!

Yup I first saw him in a rerun of Space Seed as a kid and fell in love. I was over the moon when he starred in Fantasy Island! I didn't recognize him at first but I remembered his voice and his beautiful eyes.
He was always well buffed, people debated if that was his chest in TWOK, but it was confirmed that it was all him. When he was on the Colbys, he had to have his shirts custom made because he had such a well developed chest.
Wonderful actor, and a good man. Was married for 63 years to Loretta Young's sister and died 2 years after her death.
All the sites have his nationality as Mexican, but while he was born and grew up in Mexico, he is actually Spanish. His parent were native to Spain.Marantz AV-7705 PrePro, Classé 5 channel 200wpc Amp, Oppo 103 BluRay, Rotel RCD-1072 CDP, Sony XBR-49X800E TV, Polk S60 Main Speakers, Polk ES30 Center Channel, Polk S15 Surround Speakers SVS SB12-NSD x2
