Thank goodness. Not only is that a unsettling mental image, but it'd also make TB pretty worthless as an info source.
In general (not directed at you, Joe)...
I find the biggest problem with people getting upset over other people's posts that are negative or contrary, is almost always in the language used to present the position. Often curt responses, even if the person didn't intend it to be that way, are treated as rude.
In as much as we should all be big boys and not need the smileys or sugar coating to make it very clear the tone of a post is non-confrontational, even though it is contrary, it's just a necessary evil on web forums (and emails for that matter.)
Or, you can just say screw it, I'm gonna' word it any way I like, and then you get to put up with the crap storm that always follows. Seems like that's the hard way to go to me, but to each their own, I guess... still lotsa' people doing it... some may even enjoy it.
Bottom line is, 95% of the crap storms are avoidable if you just take a little time to make the tone of a contrary/negative post non-confrontational. If you're upset about something, don't post yet. Wait, and post when you're cool.
C'mon, we all know this, right?
dude i dont even know why this came around this time.
last thing i remember we were talking about one of the old preamps. i was asking for clarification on a bass that jimmy cited and next thing ya know BAM!
