Why don't you look up "scam" while you're at it.

riiight... well, the purpose of my initial post was to ask an audio dealer if the "loophole" existed... so, am i missing something, or are you just reverting back to the point you made before your clear-cut misinterpretation of the word "policy" ???(which, ironically enough, occurred as you "corrected" my "misuse" of the word)

oh, and i did look up "scam"... back when the whole heated flamewar on this issue was happening. i think whether or not my ploy is to be considered a "scam" is the essence of what this debate has evolved into... and we all have our own opinion there.

i'm gonna go study now, you take the next shift here *tags williamgoody* ... we've got to have this damn dead horse beat to a bloody pulp before midnight.

well guys, you've had me thinking long and hard about this matter... so i decided to IM the Lord. here are the conclusive, undebatable results to our dispute... i'm not sure, but i believe He hath forsaken me.

isotope240 (6:55:20 PM): so what do you think about the plan i proposed on head-fi's dealers and discounts thread?
God (6:55:24 PM): you will die.
isotope240 (6:55:37 PM): what? was it that big of a deal?
God (6:55:58 PM): you will die.

In my opinion, DanG and isotope were trying to accomplish VERY different things. DanG was just trying to haggle. Just like anyone would at a car dealer. Isotope, on the other hand, in my opinion, was immorally trying to bring the price down. Was his method illegal? I'm not sure. But I'm sure many would agree: it wasn't right.

I've been watching this thread for a long time. Those of you who think that isotope240 is being unethical or cheating the system are a little late in your assesments. Don't you realize that his idea is what America is all about? At least nowadays it is.
We have allowed laws to be made to cover every angle of everything, by making the wrong choices illegal, we have made a society where if it's not illegal it must be okay. It's our own fault. You are looking at a product of our own doing. Right and wrong are now defined as legal and illegal. See what happens when you let the government get to big and all incompassing?

I say to isotope240, "If you don't have a problem with it and the store doesn't have a problem with it, you should go forward. And good luck on getting there in time to re-buy the player before someone else picks it up."

andrzejpw,
i'm not sure if you've been keeping up with the thread... maybe you were just skimming it, but i'll say again: just like DanG, i was trying to save money. we were going about it in VERY different ways, but our goal was the same... maybe that's what you meant.. either way, if your goal was to revive rampant public criticism of my morals, i would appreciate it if you'd stop.. i think we've already had enough of that, and i believe it is against head-fi's rules of posting to engage in a personal attack of that sort (not saying that you're intending to spark one, but maybe checking out some of grinch's earlier remarks will give you an idea of what i'm worried about.) thanks.

I would not interpret a comment like this -- stated clearly as opinion, and not in a manner that's insulting -- as being in violation of the rules.

If he had said, "You're a criminal!" without stating any laws you were breaking, that would be something I'd consider a violation of the rules.

Wow, I've never seen any one stretch so far in my life to link things together.

My suggestion...listen to Rush and G. Gordon Liddy less. I think you will be happier.

Isotope, for someone who's supposedly not guilty of wanting to do something which could be interpreted as wrong, you sure are defensive about it.

Mr Phd, I absolutely hear what your saying. But just because it may be this way in America doesn't mean it can't change. (rediculously optimistic I know

One more thing isotope, you're seem interested in putting this matter to rest, yet only it seems if you get the last word.....

I haven't heard Rush in years and I have never heard Liddy. The part you quoted is not as clear as I should have made it. While I do think the fed gvt is way too big, I was actually just referring to the plethora of laws that seem to cover every aspect of our lives. The government too big = the book of laws is too big. All encompassing = everything we do is covered by a law.

I could go on................................but I won't.
