    Kindly explain where do you see sarcasm in my comment. I was serious, why would I waste a time of my life making a useless joke ?

    As my ex-wife liked to say: "You're applying logic and reason* when it's clearly not allowed ... stop it."

    And you're missing the forest for the trees.

    AND you seem to be projecting what you think needs to be done to make this community what you want it to be. Which seems to be significantly at odds with what it's creators and custodians would like it to be (and, I think, have been quite successful in fostering to this point).

    While I certainly won't claim to speak for others, nor, especially, those that brought SBAF into being, I can imagine the shivers that might run down their collective backs at the mere thought that even 2% of the no-talent-ass-clownery that persists in other corners of the internet might manifest itself here.

    (*I am using the terms "logic" and "reason" extremely loosely; possibly entirely new meanings of those words that most were previously unaware of.)

    I also feel like a bit of the dislike comes from... Well, it's a random new person telling "Here's how things should be done. Do this, and do this..." in a very manner-of-fact way, instead of giving well reasoned opinion based input. I don't expect that kind of behaviour would go over well anywhere, let alone on an internet forum. If it was from another long-time member of the board, it might trigger some thoughtful discussion and debate.

    Just got my first spam notification from @mariss alane. That's how I knew registrations were open again. And that it seems I need to build muscle mass.

    Me too.

    It's absurdly uncomfortable over a real moose head. And the antlers get all tangled with the real ones. It is just a silly idea.

    What... you mean like I just did?

    Hmmm... Different idea: make just-don't-get-it randos wear mouse heads.

    Moosehead...with built in HD-650s

    And a long list of rituals that must be adhered to, including you can't mention the name of J*de without simultaneous flatulation.

    HD600 or HD650 yes. Anyone who disapproves of these headphones a priori without auditioning either one deserves the Beats Solo HD mark I "fart cannon" for eternity, yes I am that cruel.

    Moosehead, why a moose?

    Emperor Jude? He can keep his empire, grant him that.

    Yep. HD600 is my endgame.

    And I say that because my hearing does not justify spending any more, but hey, even if it did... I'm not sure that I would!

    Nope, not Hitler, some Nazi general, Manstein, I think. Don't want to see anything like that at SBAF
