Legend Tweeter Karma

Up for karma is one brand new Legend tweeter, RD8682-1 with the gloss black face plate. The face plate is a separate piece that is secured with a ring of 3M adhesive tape. To change the tweeter the face plate must be removed, so if you have the matte face plate you would simply swap the plate.
Pick a number from 1 to 100, but you must have at least 100 posts and be a contributing member. You cannot resell this tweeter. I reserve the right to exclude anyone that isn't eligible. I will use a random number generator at the end of next week.

Nice karma,
In with 36. Never hurts to have a spare.

Thanks Jesse, while I'd like to take credit for being a stand up fellow, the truth of the matter is that that half-karma got me thinking. It made me wonder why the universe would signal to me, You can do better.Scott has decided to karma his half-karma to Larry. Very generous of you sir!
I came up with a list of possible reasons.- I went overboard giving Young Chris the business.
- If you don't do better, Larry will threaten and kill you, just like on one of those Netflix crime documentaries.
- Larry has offered our members some really cool mods over the years for our vintage speakers, efforts from which I have benefitted. Further, Larry has agreed to start turning spikes again.
After Young Chris’s statement above, pretty much wishing death on Larry or myself, it became clear to me that the “giving of the business” to Young Chris was entirely warranted. So, I cross that one off, and the "giving of the business" shall resume in full. I mean, I already lost half karma anyway, so clearly there’s no risk there, and I might as well go for broke, if, in fact, not being a signal to ramp up.
Second, I heard a rumor that Larry is a ginger. Everyone knows that ginger threats make people laugh. So that clearly nullifies Larry as a credible threat, and thus, Karma would not waste time here. I mean, there are exceptions, and Larry might be a real toughguy, but I’m willing to take my chances with Larry, since he’s generally pretty cool all around.
Third. This one is true. Larry has agreed to start turning spikes again, and so I took the hint from the universe urging me to karma my half-karma to a now full-karma deservant.
🎵 And the Polk Forum rejoiced, for more speakers would be adorned with artfully crafted, heavy and Spartan stainless steel pointy things...🎶
Some of you sharp folk may say, Waaaait a minute - there’s a plot hole here! What were Larry’s sins before all this, since he was only awarded just half a karma, too?!?
