    Ya know, there was one thing about Cliff that I had to respect. He never whined to JB or Al about the beat downs he got or anything else for that matter, which is a helluva lot more than can be said for some here today.

    No Jesse, he just whined to all of US, which was just as annoying!:mad:

    He and several others that are gone are NOT missed. (At least not by me.)

    True, but one could tell him to eff off without worry. Don't get me wrong, I'm not missing any of them either.

    again it was not intended for you to comprehend, hence your extreme confusion ;)

    i guess i should add some actual news to this thread...

    In case any of you forgot the purpose of this thread it was about a guy who had some issues with an Emotiva RSP-2 lol. That gentleman pm'd me the other day (different forum), after somehow finding this thread and sent me this..

    "I just noticed that the boys over at the Polk Club got a hold of my post explaining my issues, and are making a bigger than life deal over it."

    Well he also stated he is more than happy with how the whole situation has been handled by Emotiva and is still very pleased with the product. I dont know if he will actually join this forum to comment on this, so i dont really want to speak for him. But i figured some sort semi-end result should be mentioned.
