these are Sonido SFR200 in (unfinished) prototype AION horn ( original Sonido design ) and in MAU XII ;

nope - I didn't build them , they're made by ( AION) and for (MAU) my friend Igor .

I was there - as always - as Devil's advocate ...... ( read as - sick ideas are always mine , and they'll suffer later )

edit - I also have pre-cut sheets for Mau , in my garage ;
now all I need is little time ......

I see that Mark has created a new little sandbox for Choky to play in.

Yes, for me, but I see through the sieve!

Gyuri,

Sadly, your English is so poor that it is impossible to understand your complaints and actually it is impossible to understand many of your posts.

I ask that you spend more time writing to try to make them comprehensible. If this requires you to post less, that wouldn't be a great loss as lots of incomprehensible posts is like spam. I'm sorry, but that's the truth.

Yes, but with a reason:

To clean up some other threads, we will be transferring some of the Off Topic from them to this one. My understanding its that the OT Gang will attempt to contain most OT here and encourage others to do the same.

Some of these members add a lot to our forum in terms of project design and actually building stuff, which are in fact the reasons for our existance, making people of this sort our most valued members.

BUT if their threads are so scrambled that no one wants to read them or are in fact impossible to read, their contributions become quite small and worse, very frustrating.

This is especially a problem in threads started by others, and about other's projects. To make other people's threads less comprehensible is just bad manners and egocentric. Lack of respect in my opinion.

Another example is the Pumpkin thread. After I ordered the parts and boards for the projects, I tried to review the thread for corrections and updates. Actually impossible until I spent more than 2 hours splitting off the useful posts into a separate thread.

The mods will be more strict about OT in threads, now, but I hope that there will now be more consideration of others. Some old OT posts in other threads will be moved here, others will be deleted. Off topic posts have always been subject to deletion, and I probably have been too lenient in this.

Szervusz, Mark!
You are right. This largest deficiency of mine is a doubt without.
It is necessary to invest considerable intellectual energy if somebody wants to understand it presumably the what I would like to say.

But at least if only I would be top notch in English!

I know that it is frustrating! from the above quote! Maybe best not to explore such profound concepts! Hard to express even in one's own language- impossible in one that you don't know well...


Hmmmmm, I've been looking for those "Crimes of OT" in the F(X) threads, and haven found much. Could I be wrong? Shocking!
If so, apologies... Then again I only got 3/4 of the way through the F5 thread.- That's a lotta posts!!

you know that you always have my own respect , considering the job you must do ( same as other mods) ;

but ....

sometimes I feel annoyed with fact that some members are behaving as leechers ...... demanding strictly on topic posts , without much own contributing ; typical "hit & run" .

"gimme ookin' recipe ! " .....

certainly - that sort of behavior isn't reserved for Diyaudio ..... it's same in many other places , and ( luckily ?) usually in greater magnitude .

I know that job reserved for bunch of Mods isn't easy in any way ....
but I also have impression that Off Topic Mob certainly isn't worst group here ;

"our" threads are usual mess , but I'm spending enough time every day thinking and typing to someone who knows some things even less than me . and that's off-forum ; and that not just for dreky Pumpie and Shunty ; they are deserving just 10% of my own correspondence .
I know that I'm not the only one doing that .....we are usually contributing ...... even if our contribution is pretty much on fuse salvation level .......

contrary to some "with OT Mob polluted threads" - with due respect to some members- there are also few disgusting threads ; pure vane and "my is bigger" playgrounds ;

I will always prefer "our" sandbox in Papaland ........

( is it Texas in Papaland ?
I have intention to grab entire Papaland in Texas ..... )
