  I had no idea there was SO MUCH not to learn or discuss! For the entire day, not once did I even consider buying or repairing broken Polk soundbars. How cool is that?!
  
  Plus, my attorneys and victim support groups were able to take extra long lunches and walk in the park today!
  
  Kudos to @nooshinjohn for bringing the fresh air of apathy into the minds of forum members everywhere!

  It’s blowin’ peace and freedom, it’s blowin’ you and me

  Banning only occur if you played it backwards. So long as we don't know which direction it was played.... it remains nothing.
