Thanks Ben,
I was always here. I read this forum EVERY SINGLE day and have done so for many months. I'm just not as strong technically as some of you guys so I never felt comfortable joining the technical discussions here. I feel like I know everyone here very well from all of my reading. You guys dont know me. Im the quiet guy sitting back and learning. Some of you were like me at one point in time when you didnt know what you know now. Ill keep learning from you. For now, I am the pupil and you are the teachers.
But Im very interested in this forum. I like Polk products and I like this forum. I would really like to be more active here but am not that strong technically so I thought I could jump into the fray talking about some of the more social elements of the thread. Clearly a bad choice on my part and I guess I understand the forums reaction.
So, I humbly submit to this forum that I would like to be a Polkie. Hey, as I mentioned in another post, Ive met Matt Polk in person, how many can say that? Also, Ill contradict my previous post about buying Bose speakers . You guys tell me, am I in? Or am I out? Regards, Chris

Who cares? Jump in the fray... it's all good. A joke or two might serve ya well. This isn't an effin' funeral.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

Uh, I though I made a joke about the, uh, Bose speakers - so are they good? Chris

It's cool man. I made a huge A$$ out of myself when I first got here. I did everything you did in your previous thread, and worse. I was flamed hard. For a long time! I hope you are smarter than me. Stick around. Most of these "veterans":p are really good guys.
Ben
PS Matt is cool. There are quit a few who have corresponded with him either directly, or indirectly.Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks

Dude, in every forum I've been a member of, there is a certian newbie protocol to follow. You sit back, get a feel for who's who, comment when you think you have something CONSTRUCTIVE to add, and above all, DON'T piss off the FOG's (effin old guys).
IF you follow that simple board protocol, you'll get to be valued member. (and just so you know, I consider myself a little fish here still)My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself. -
Ben... you're an **** of the highest order.

Rivratt - good advice - I've been trolling here for so long I just felt like an oldbie rather than a newbie. My mistake. Chris

To the OP, don't make the mistake I made and try to sell anything here. I lurked for a long time, make a few posts that seemed to get decent discussion going and then asked if anyone was interested in buying a watch I have.
I still regret posting that and have pretty much stopped posting altogether because of the responses I got. I'll still lurk. And I am still looking for a steal of a deal on a pair of Lsi F/X.
Flame suit on, go ahead guys. -

Wz,
take control of things man.......you wanna lurk here and learn? sweet
wanna participate and talk?.....sweet
wanna pour fireants down Candy's chimney spout?...you have my support, vaya con dios.
wanna make 4 posts about how our forum sucks , making the same point over........and over.......and over?....... then ok, but we're gonna break your horns. come to acceptance on this and your heart and soul will be set free.
wanna make not liking a forum actually be a sole indicator of what brand your going to buy? I would call you a sheep, baaaaaaa baaaaaaaa..........but that would be against the rules, so I will not
point is, stop whining.
to all noobs, please.....pretty please with sugar on top..... buy Polk ,or any product, based on you liking the product, or the customer service you get. if you base it solely on an internet forum with thousands of people THAT DONT WORK FOR POLK, then really.....you need work on your decision making skills.
W2, not saying this to be insulting or to be hurtful......I'm being genuine here. you couldnt possible come off more whiney. you easily won the whiney prize for the day, soundly beating out Candy (no small endeavor) and that other guy i cant remember that tried to ask 50 times why he cant sell something when he damn well knew the rule from jumpstreet.....thus being shocked and amazed when such a display of stupidity caused him to get flamed like liberace at a firefighters convention..........you beat THAT dude out!
with a come from behind victory no less
by the way I second Jesse's point, many of us met Matt, nice guy, and contrary to your belief did not just meet you and then lock himself in solitary never to be seen by anyone again.....subsisting only on water and trail mix.

I would like to personally welcome members who actually contribute to this audio forum.
Those that spend most of their time bitching and whining about everything imaginable are welcome to keep their yaps shut and save their typing because ultimately, most people (the sane ones) don't care to see you piss and moan about having your child like feelers hurt weeks/months/years after the fact.
Know the best thing to do in cases like this? Drink a lot and forget all your internet woes..........life's rough out there, and I sure know I wouldn't want my sensitivities being bent out of shape by some meanie on an internet forum.......or.........get the **** over it and move on..........simple choice.comment comment comment comment. bitchy. -
I like the "give a &% "meter
JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut) -
"I didn't come here to be insulted !"
"Oh ? Where do you normally go to be insulted ?"
I can't help but think of that line (from the Marx Brothers, thank you very much) whenever somebody gets their feelings tweaked.
It's the INTERNET; heck, if we don't tell you you have a boogar on your nose, who will ?
And it ain't a crime to be wrong, so don't get wound up if somebody points that out.
And remember: it's all good, if YOU let it.
Have a good day.

Just to be clear-I meant this for the song and its lyrics (well generally anyway) not the video or the content of the video-Didn't see an easier way to share the song I was thinking of. ____________________

I agree almost 100%. All except that Whitesnake video where that babe is real friendly with the hood of the car. Somewhere in this is an idea for a new CL35 thread. "What music video do you hate the most?", or "Where were you when you saw your first music video?", or "Who was your date when you first saw a Madonna video and was it a makeout bar?"... -
