    Just a few of my A/V nevers:

    I will never pay to watch TV--wrong
    I will never pay thousands for a TV--wrong
    I will never pay thousands for an amp--wrong
    I will never buy more speakers than I can use--wrong
    I will never pay to listen to radio broadcasts--wrong
    I will NEVER suscribe to Stereophile--wrong
    I will never drive 1000 miles to buy speakers--wrong
    I will never have more speakers than systems--wrong

    The list is nearly endless, watch out Mac

    "A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."

    Thankfully, these are the only two I've fallen for as of yet. (Yes, I don't get cable!)
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Kinda fun story:got brought to one of those free steak dinner to listen to a financial planner. After his speal, I said no, he was too expensive. So then he tried to rationalize it:

    What do you spend monthly on TV? $0
    What do you spend monthly on Internet? $0
    So must spend a lot of time reading? Yes
    What do you spend on magazine subscriptions? $0
    What do you spend on books? Libraries right down the road...
    WHAT DO YOU DO THEN? Have friends...

    He left me alone after that response. Thank God he didn't aks me:

    How much do you spend on DVD's?
    On CD's?
    On HT equipment?
    On 2-channel equipment?

    I woulda been screwed then... :D
