Tarheel

[<)][^][G]....and Merry Christmas to all the Dtels.....

I got a sweater last year... ... ... ... I was hoping for a screamer, or AT LEAST a moaner! Good one JT[Y]....[Y]......[Y]

Very nice....got to hear Jubs someday.

A gray sweater here[:S]

Way to go Russ.....what color?

No problem Mike.......as you may have guessed if mas' insults did not bother me then I am fairly thick skinned. I just didn't see how someone could make the leap from a request to pardon two banned guys to honoring my good forum friend buckster. You may recall that I started the Oldbuckster Update? thread and I truly miss the guy each and every time I post here. You may be right about Parrot and as I stated I don't remember that much about him. Amy has opened the door a little if they want back in so that answers my question. She understood the intent of my thread and summed it up correctly as usual. Nuff said about this.............. Merry Christmas ladies and gentlemen[]

I certainly was not comparing any one to Oldbuckster and this was not a thread about him nor an attempt to honor him. It was a post saying some of the spark has been missing without the controversy those two (mas and Parrot) created. I admit I can't recall many of Parrot's post but I always read what mas had to say because I enjoyed and cringed at some of his statements and ideas. I remember mas calling me tarbaby and suggesting we were doing some inbreeding down here in my neck of the woods but I still miss his informative and relevant points of view. I agree with the other comments about Amy and the great job she does day in and day out. No attempt here to second guess her decisions and she was most lkely right to take the action she did. My only question was do bans have to be forever?

Fender.....is the radar detector still for sale?

Thanks Marshall, Michael, and Don.....those of us who actually had conversations with mas ( I never talked with Parrot) came to understand and/or accept his/their demeanor and were not threatend by his/their staightforward in your face communications. That said....I have spoken with others who miss their view of all things audio and I believe discourse is why we are all here. I would find it boring if we all thought a like or communicated a like. There may not be a precedent for bringing back a banned member but in this season of giving why don't we establish one?

We have lost a significant forum member this year and though we are blessed with many newbies we still don't have the spark we use to have with the likes of mas and Parrot......see where I am going here? Why not grant a pardon to these two former members......maybe just allow them to talk to each other. Don't get me wrong...mas and I had some moments (the Michael Vick thread) but we also exchanged some pms and I found him to be very friendly and engaging. Bottom line here is we need some excitement.....I can take the heat...... so Amy.....bringem back......heck they may not want back in but I would like to see both of them post again.....in the Christmas spirit[]

Just stay clear of Vladimer in Canada......he is trouble! He sells a lot of turntables but no repeat business[:@]

Tell him to keep his wife out of it and offer $175

Why it must be two or three hundred miles at least......but if you are a good swimmer[:^)]

You must have been a very good boy. Congrats! Think I'm getting a sweater[:#]

Good pics guys. Warm weather guy myself JB. In case you're wondering the black and tan and Makers Mark hit the spot. Have a good weekend!

Gin or Vodka? 65 and sunny here in Carolina[Y]

Just got the new Audio Advisor catalog. They have 32 OZ. Osage Audio's Premium One Step Formula that is alcohol free for $25.00. Can be used for machine or hand record cleaning. Any experience with this product?

Looks like I am replying to my own reply here[:^)] I think Fenderbender likes Makers Mark as I recall in one of his post and maybe one or two others here do to, and of course I do as well so lets blow the 4 o'clock whistle a little early today, have a couple of cold ones and move right on to the good stuff[D] As our buddy OB would say "its' four o'clock somewhere"[]

Could be worse....I am doing the Atkins Diet and watching Leave It To Beaver[:S]

You're both right....less resonance=sounds better....all good. BTW those are my bass bins that bluesboy built. See my avatar for the top hat.

Dang bluesboy....why did'nt you tell me you do that good of work and I would have you buld me a pair[:^)] The 1" mdf does make a difference. I have had both 3/4" and 1" shells and 1" is the way to go.

Never Hit Grandma With A Great Big Stick by the Darlings. That one always makes me cry.

And I did not get you anything[:$] Oh well....when should I come by to pick it up?

Fender you neglected to mention the Salem which hunt[:^)]

Hey Fender, Is the toaster oven still for sale?
