    Congratulations to both the winners, (even though they don't deserve it).

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    I think the fix was in, after I bought a Twister game, sent Russ some dead squirrels in the mail, I got squat.

    Oh well, next time I'll have to up the offer to Possums. :) Maybe throw in a quick recipe book too for road kill.

    Yep. And I got stuck sitting by a couple of them and didn't get to socialize with my fellow Polkies. Nice guys, but I'd have much rather been shooting the bull with some Polkies.

    Russ, this in an unbelievably nice gesture. You deserve all the good Karma that comes your way. Hope to see you in May.

    Yes, I agree that this really is the 19th time you've said that. :p

    That said, I am glad you weren't in with 167, or we would have to suffer another 148 "In with" comments. :D
