Hi, my name is Bob, and Frank is my friend here (from Australia) who introduced me to your excellent forums site. 🙂
I'm Canadian, duh (it's in my title), and I luv everything we create (audio/video). ...Plus paintings, sculptures, photographs, designs, all that creative jazz. 😎
I also play music (guitars, flutes, harmonicas, pianos) for roughly forty-five years. ...Non-professional.
I built my first loudspeaker when I was sixteen.
And my first r.a.d.i.o. (AM Mono) was given to me by my GrandMa on my sixth birthday.
I bought my first turntable when I was twelve, I think.
Anyway, Music and Cinema have always been my passions in life.
And I took courses at school on some of these disciplines, plus I worked on those disciplines as well.
And I planted over two million trees, mainly on the West Canadian coast.
So I know a thing or two about trees and forests.
Some of my own trees are hundred feet high.
I am much more than that, but for now that would suffice. 🙂
Have a great weekend everybody,
Bob

Hey Bob,
There's a few of us from Van Isle. I'm in the Nanaimo Ladysmith area. You?
Welcome.

An island in Western Canada? Geez man it deserves more than that. 😀
450 km of some of the nicest land in the country.
Welcome aboard fellow Canuck.
Ryan, methinks he's down at the bottom in or around that town that starts with a V.

Hey, Bob, good to see you on board! This island of yours, obviously is one of them places, might have to check it out one of these days .... 🙂

Thx Canucks, and Aussie Franky mate (he's my bud I was referring to before). 🙂
My main mansion is in Victoria, and I also have a fishing 'shack' in Mill Bay, and a 'sanctuary' in Duncan area. Plus Mayne Island is another 'refuge'.
By the way, I got trees on the Charlottes (Queen Islands).
Any of you guys who have ever been there?

Alright, my turn.
1. How long or how many posts do I need before they go through immediately?
2. About my signature? I looked to sign for one but helas couldn't find anything.
3. There are numbers (post counts); but somehow hidden.
4. I hate any type of reputation system. ...But I'll live.
5. No [Visitor Messages] box?
6. Only 50 PMs allowed?
7. There seems to be some real cool (nice) folks here.
8. Planet10, yes, I am very much into Illuminati. Dave, you're in my town.
9. Ryan, you are my neighbor.
10. Cal, I can tell you have a good sense of humor.
11. Frank, you were right; good bunch here. ...And all from my island too.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone, 🙂

Nothing formal, everybody keeps one in their head i'm sure.

One of the things you get more of when you become a donor. You can turn it off as well.
All kinds, from all over. You'll eventually run into some grumpies 🙂
Are you sure it is not my town? I'm happy to share. Jeff & Chris & more are local. We may even know each other. I was at Sound Hounds for 5 years.
Watch out for FNORDS
He just moved from Victoria
And likes beer. You can meet him at next year's VI diyFEST

Magnitude 7.7 - QUEEN CHARLOTTE ISLANDS REGION
South end of Haida Gwaii.

Dave, I recall a Dave who used to work at Sound Hounds!
And I believe that once he sold me a Rotel CD player, and another time he terminated a pair of interconnects for me (soldered the RCA connectors; like a pro).
And thank you for answering all my questions.
* I am tres familiar with the User CP. ...But there was no 'Signature Editing' there.
** A [Visitor Messages] box is a place under your profile when each time one member go there he/she can leave a message (post a note). ...Do you go out sometimes? 😉
*** Ya, I know exactly where it says how many posts each member has; I was just reiterating it.
**** Five posts, yup, got that now.
***** No sweat, I know the score regarding PMs, thanx for reminding me.
****** What is FNORDS?
One day at a time. I'll go real slow but surely so, just as tomorrow go...
I'm happy to be here among some friends who live in 'my' town. 🙂
And by the way, did I say that I was French? ...I believe so. And I also always type with only one finger, very true. ...And a treeplanter, I was.
Bests to you all,
Bob
