    He is in the "Who's Online" window to the right of this text, and as soon as he showed up the spammers disappeared... coincidence? I think not. :)

    Now that I say that, however, he appears to be gone. :/

    John John John, why be so dramatic when a simple hip check down a long flight of stairs would do.

    If I reach that point, I probably don’t deserve to see it coming...

    Death by Heresy... I think I’d prefer something a little (or a lot) less painful, lol...

    It appears things are under control now, so let's get back to talking about the new Legend speakers and whatnot.

    Still here. Seventeen years and counting for me. Seen worse, although I was getting tired of seeing tedious threads about a Santa Claus vendetta or whatever that was about. Too early for Christmas and too soon to get some L800s under the tree.

    I eagerly await either a 'formal' review or a real end-user review of any of the new Legend models! I guess we'll get that PDQ with the L200 (which will be cool).

    First time for me. It was, well, an experience. One thing I did notice, was that once attacked, we all banded together, worked as a team, communicated, consoled each other, and endured.

    We're all still here! Whew! And, I may add, bonded together a bit more! ;)

    I’m learning a lot of new things from the speaker section these days. A lot.

    I may have to go to church. Or take a shower. OR, take a shower at church.
