I'm surprised the moderator allows certain member posts as they amount to nothing more than "And he's telling me more and more about some useless information"

This forum shouldn't be a readers digest of nonsense

You're welcome!!!!
God Bless,

No joke. And it is *your* forum, so by all means you can/do set the "rules of engagement".

What I mean to point out is that - clearly, and in my opinion and I'd venture to say the opinion of others as well - there are many posts by certain member (no need to "name names", but they know who they are) that are in no way related to the subject matter (title) of the thread. While I certainly do agree with freedom or speech, freedom to write, freedom to express opinions and so forth, I think of late there are numerous "off topic" replies that really have no value other than to utilize the hard drive space all the 1s and 0s take up on forum server. Moreover, it makes it that much more difficult for those truly in need of accurate and meaningful answers to find what they are searching for.

I like to think its "our" forum, so I do allow pretty free range. I do delete topics that serve no purpose to the reader, and any posts that cross the lines we have previously discussed. Beyond that, I let it go unless someone complains. All seems to be lighthearted and fun and almost always related to music and a/v gear (with the occasional drift into food, sports and cars).

I guess if multiple members are unhappy with something they need to let me know, feel free to PM me on this topic if anyone wants to keep their comments anonymous. Obviously it is my goal to keep this forum to everyone's liking, there are plenty of other places to get useless information about nothing.

Well, well.

Differing opinions are a part of life, expected and accepted.

First, I've said it before and I'll say it again, Moderator Dude, you have a tough job, and you do well navigating between varying interests, squelching negative stuff, and still letting us have some freedom and fun!

Second, it's correct that threads shouldn't be hijacked at will. So I apologize for steering this thread away from white as a color and toward talk about Aons, how Bose Waves aren't in the same league etc. etc.

Biggest point however is this, from the peanut gallery: this is supposed to be, and is, a fun hobby!!!!! What I love about this forum is sharing, with friends, what I'm hearing, learning, getting snippets of what's going on in my friend's lives, and together appreciating what a great product line and company GEt represents to us. I want to learn as I go, but I also love the comradery, humor that comes along with "being with understanding, caring friends".

However this all works out, I'd hate to see the fun side take a back seat.

Just sayin', from the peanut gallery.
