Mallette 4522 Posted January 21 I am NOT leaving the Forums but will no longer log in except to respond to text messages to do so for PMs. All I did here was Moderate given my 26k posts had pretty well covered everything I know about audio and I didn't have much more to say given the BS sections demise (where about 5k of my posts disappeared). I PM'd my thoughts to Chad and one other that I really felt like the returning Vietnam vet that I am returning from that war with a Vietnam service medal with campaign device and the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry...and being told to make sure I didn't wear my uniform in public unless I wished to be spat on. If you wish to PM me after a week from today text your question to 870 648 5147 and I will log in and respond by PM. Farewell, and thanks for all the fish! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbphoto 354 Posted January 21 Reminds me of leaving a family party and you have to say goodbye 4 or 5 times on your way towards the door. "I'm really leaving this time!" Over the years, I've developed the "Irish goodbye" where I just tell everyone "I'll be right back, I have to go check on that thing", and then I never return and nobody misses me. Works great. You should try it. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henry4841 301 Posted January 21 Dave's been a long time member and moderator and it is pretty obvious since first starting this thread there has been new developments. I do not particular like the drama going on in this type of thread. Dave has contributed much to this forum and it's success over the years and I do not like to see him leave this way. I hate to see friction among the staff that run this forum but I do not think it appropriate to make it public on this forum. I also do not like the idea of a private BS section among a few on a Klipsch speaker forum. And I am glad it no longer exist. That kind of thing is better had on a general social media site of which there are many. This forum should be only about Klipsch speakers and the gear that is associated to make them work. Anything else should be addressed in the lounge section for all to see. Dave I hope you change your mind again and participate when some time has past for you to get over whatever it is that is going on behind the curtain. There are many that will miss you including myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
