******and virtually pwns this board******
No, no, no and NO.
Been playing since 72, and I suck. Been refinishing since the mid 80's, and I'm getting at it every time. Been ordering and assembling parts since the mid 90s (all W by the way, new and/or "as new"). I build my own amps. I've built some cabinets from scratch, but not recently. I cover my own cabinets. I build my own effects (mostly). Yes, what I suck at on playing... I try to compensate for in the tech side of things <gg>.
But I dont pwn this board, or even want to.
Folks - its YOUR board. Gregg just pays the rent and makes sure its kept up. YOU are the movers and shakers. Some folks hang here, some folks hit it for a quick question, some come and go... but all participants are the ones who make it work, and the work is theirs, not mine (and Jack has more posts anyway....).
I've been cursed with the "I've got to know" gene, and its held me back my whole life. When you have an interest, what good is it unless you share what you've learned with others? And its an un-ending chain. Learn.... pass it on. But also, I've learned to try and filter the hyperbole from reality.... usually by following the money!~
Y'all are a great bunch of enthusiasts. I mean it!~~ I dont mind going head to head against any idea or principle or factoid or superstition.... but at the end of the day.... don't attack, demean, belittle, berate, denigrate, abuse, slander....the individual. And if you're gonna tell a joke - try and make damn sure as many folks as possible understand its a joke. Sarcasm is great for humor... the more flippant the better~~ But more important at the end of the day, when the spirited discussion is over... be ready to lift yer glass with the person you had a good honest and fair debate with, and agree to disagree, and debate again some other day.
I think I've made my self clear here. I hope y'all understand...
