I thought I'd just say hi to all of you, since I decided to stop lurking.
I'll try not to offend the sensibilities of you longtime posters here, since I'm one of those several thousand post guys on another board or two, and I get the status thing. Although, there have been some issues I probably could've add some info to relating to my occupation (I install and power optical and electical digital telcom eq)
I've learned a thing or two since I started stopping by, like my 10b's probably need some crossover work, and maybe some tweet upgrades. That my wife won't let me spend 350 bucks on e-bay for some SDA 2a's within driving distance (pretty narrow minded of her), and that as much as I thought I was over the top on my A/V stuff, most of you make me look like a piker.
Anyway, I'll post a bit, lurk and lurk a bit, and see how things go. Thanks for the good board.

Rule #1 in my book:
Never let your gear affect your decision or opinion on something. Everyone starts somewhere and has somewhat of a budget(although some on this forum might not;) )
Hell I'm just 21 and just recently got into the hobby, so my gear is sub-par pretty much everyone else on these boards.....I still give my opinions though as I'm learning
Have fun and stick around. -

Welcome to the Forum!
Any chance of you giving an explanation of your screenname?I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore -
Rivvrat, welcome! Post counts don't equal knowledge. Just read a few of my 500+ posts and you'll see what being a noob is all about.

Well... I was tossing around two ideas. Living right by the Ohio River, it is often used in a derogatory manner. It was also a pretty prominent character in Night of the Living Dead III.
You never know:D
nevermind: the character was Riverman.... I should have eaten my Wheaties this morning.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich.

I was born and raised in Seattle, where I lived for 41 yrs before heading to the desert. I used to spend a considerable amout of time thigh deep in rivers chasing salmon and steelhead.
When I moved to Tucson, I considered changing my screen name, which I use everywhere, but a few asked me not to because they wouldn't know who I was anymore.
So I'm still Rivrrat.My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself. -
And there you have it...

Welcome Rivrrat! Post counts DO NOT equate to knowledge or tenure look at my posts and the short time I aquired them. . . I'm frequently wrong! My saving grace is that I do however admit it. LOL
