I was tired and prolly misinterpreted your tone. But there IS this
safeguard....I have an opinion on EVERYTHING~ lol. And sadly, I am NOT
shy in sharing it. But this forum is healthy for me; I respect evryone
here so much with regard to the audio contributions, that I do tend to
watch my "p's n q's" so as not to come of like more of an a$$hole than I
already am! :)
Cheers & have a good day.
P.S. Will be in Santa Clara tommorrow afternoon! Satrbux is on me if
your around! :)
