I deal with 14-18 year olds every day of the week and none (well, very few) could hold a candle to the way that many of you here debate, explain yourselves, and in general, communicate with the others on the board. I'm under the impression that, audio as a hobby, draws in those who are above average intelligence. This is a general observation and Im not trying to stereotype, but I'm just pleased to see that 17, 16, heck even 14 year olds here are able to express themselves so well. The posts of most of the members that posted in this thread would better the communcation skills of many adults in my area. I guess Im an old man here at 26, but it gives me hope that the younger generation aren't all morons.

Also this will help to warm up the sound a little." It just isn't flying right now. Hopefully soon. At least this gives me more time to spend looking at amps. |

Jussei's post didn't offend me at all, and i took it as a compliment. i don't think i'm articulate. (although i think you used the term in a different way than normal) i'm a jerkoff at heart, but i know when to put my serious boots on! although i still refuse To type like this, with perfect English, capital I's, etcetera- as long as you can read what i'm saying! again, if i read you wrong, just ignore this post. i have the tendency to go on and on and on about a subject without really going anywhere, it runs in the family. P.S.: the semicolon is the most pretentious punctuation mark ever |
