    I'm a newbie here too and have discovered that newbies can be pounced on a bit. But I have thick skin and while I may not always agree with long time members (or even understand what they are talking about sometimes) I value their opinion. Some people just like to polk fun (get it...polk....man, I kill me). Anyway....just pose your question, wade through the crap and someone will eventually get around to answering your question. Occasionally I even come across someone with a sense of humour (notice the "u"? must be another damn Canadian). What are those "Polk" things I keep hearing about anyways?

    Hilarious thread (it's OK if I use that word, isn't it?) Thought this little gem got lost in the wake badboi's debut...

    nice P65...

    I do agree on badboi though. Most promising noob since BMDP came on the scene...

    So lets start a new thread about the Lsi's he just perchased and we can all be friends.

    Actually, I was thinking along the lines of Mazersteven could sell me those Lsi's and then we could be friends.
    Uhm.....I do get a discount, right ?
    Afterall, we are friends.

    Pretty fancy posting, by the way, referencing Shakespeare:

    Thanks to mrbigbluelight's quote, it appears the **** is referring to me. I want my $100. I have no intention of EVER looking at any thing he posts. I guess I'll just have to write off the $100 though. After blowing his fortune on those KEFs, I doubt he can pickup enough aluminum cans or sell enough blood to pay the wager.

    Nah...I'm still a nice guy.;) However this idiot's first post rubbed me the wrong way...that's all. If mrbigbluelight's quote is all he has for his second post...I was right in my assessment.

    good posts, Badboi. Meant to mention that yesterday, but got sidetracked.

    And about settling for R series Polks until the alimony clears up: hang in there, it gets better. Someday you too may be able to afford an Athena subwoofer !! :)

    (Pssst....it's actually pretty darn decent).

    Bah. That is a silly idea. Those guys are already hooked. You should award the little guy, the average Joe, the guy in the back who is just learning. You know...ME!
