Wasn't Jenna in that one?


OK, OK, before I completely hijack this thread and the newbies start thinking I was serious, my story is pretty much like everyone else. I was researching some equipment, speakers most likely, and came across this site. Thanks to my supreme ineptness on the computer, I had never joined a forum before. IOW, AR was my first and you know what they say about your first time...

It was quite lively back in the day, what with flame wars, trolls, and insults being hurled all willy nilly. However, along with the resident morons, we also had the genius' such as Woodman, Doc Greene, Sir T, and countless others. Thankfully, we still have a lot of knowledgeable members such as Wooch, Kex, Edyct, Geoffcin, and countless others that over the years have increased my knowlege of this hobby tenfold. I've learned more on this site than I ever learned through years of reading TAS, SR, Audio, Stereophile, etc.

This is a much more civil place than before. Not as lively, but not as acrimonious either. Do I miss the wars? Yes and no. I enjoy not being challenged at every turn (typical Mtry response: "You may think you heard that, but you didn't. It's all in your head. DBT's have proven blahblahblah..."), but on the other hand, you can only answer the question "What's the best _______" so many times.

I don't post as much as I used to and when I do, it's usually to goof around with GMichael, Worfster, Cam, FA, Kex, Wooch, and the rest of the knuckleheads in Fave Films or OT. Ironically, we rarely talk about audio. Go figure.
