I like when people have written their real name in their profile but I know that this is rather personal. Some people prefer to be anonymous, I know, but it don't like it in this kind of forum.Why not, I use my real name. Birth date was 01-14-51. (1951)
Moderation of an internet forum is a tough (and sometimes very tedious) job, so why not make it a bit easier for the mods?
Just take each other arguments seriously, try to follow the ideas behind the arguments and if in the end there is no progress in the discussion, just agree to disagree.
There is absolutely no need for a search of hidden motivations, signs of delusion or something else only used to disparage other participants in a discussion.

Me? I'm just biding my time waiting forto show up...
Me too. Hopefully it will blow over.
Regarding my earlier Wal-Mart comment, hey, I go there every week for groceries. Best prices around. (Begin tongue-in-cheek comment) And I'll bet you can't tell the difference between their "Great Value" store brand corn flakes and Kellogg's corn flakes in a DBT. They cost half as much.

Hi Jakob2,
Hi forr,
Some people would never be able to post or enjoy anything simply due to their position in the audio world. For these people, being anonymous is survival. This shouldn't matter to anyone though, they either post and get along with everyone, or they don't.
When I first joined, the application asked me for a screen name. Not being that group savvy, and having names similar to my own not available, I picked one that best described what I do. analog technician. Still, my real name is in my profile and I sign my messages with my real first name. No hiding. Many others probably did the same thing without any intention to disguise their true name.
Hi Andy,
You're a respected, long time member. At least in my book.
If anyone does have a problem, please contact a moderator you feel comfortable with, or the entire team. Successful moderating is done in concert with our members. We may not always be able to satisfy someone, but at least we are made aware of issues and you will get an honest answer.
We do what we can.
It's up to all our members to make this a rewarding place to visit, we can't do it all. If any members are here simply to cause problems and get their jollies, you may find yourself with a permanent ban. Yes, our bans are permanent for the most part. We have a "time out" area, so a ban is exactly that, a ban.
There are a few people out there that have been skirting the rules. Guess what? Cumulative bad behavior will bring about a ban, not just a broken rule. So, if anyone wishes to play any games that way .... surprise!
Our moderating team has had it's hands full with various things as of late, but we are here to make this a better place for people who belong with good intentions. That's always been our mandate and it will continue. Please work with us to help you.

Thank you for that. However, it's not always a difficult job. We have a wonderful mix of members as people for the most part. Some I could do without, but that's normal in any group.

Absolutely true!

If that is why you are here, you will find yourself posting elsewhere. Purposeful inciting trouble will get you into more trouble. Please contribute or be quiet.
This kind of transgression is in the rules that got lost in the transition to the new forum.
You can consider this an "official" warning.

This is hilarious! Dave, you are the Mod, but you are the one misquoting him! You completely changed the meaning of his sentence with the words you edited out. Too funny!
I read it no differently when i put them back:
and neither did the other mod that pointed out this post.

Darwin
A scientist actually published findings similar to Darwins just before he did, but was completely unnoticed
Darwin thought it was due time to publish that he knew that 30years before that
He used first half of his life to study and prove his theory
And he spent the last half of his life keeping it a secret
Because he knew how the society would react
It happened anyway
Man, the captain who transported Darwin around the world killed himself after Darwin published his findings
Thats how it was
But which of these seperate events would you respect most
Try figure it out, if possible
Some suggested reading.
Charles Darwin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Also, the Beagle had three captains. The first committed suicide before the first voyage began. The second committed suicide late in life after a long depression. The third died of natural causes.
