Contradict your own posts??

[lwdemons]

So I ran a search on my old posts for the hell of it. I caught this great quote about preferring 10s over 15s

"...I went from 2 15's to a hartke 410 xl and was really happy with it, much more responsive and didn't lose any depth. Recently I switched to avatars - and the hartke hasn't moved since - the avatars rock, are much cheaper, and a hell of a lot lighter to boot.

Or, if you can't decide between the 10s or 15s, you could always give a 212 a look too - your back will thank you down the road."

So my back is not thanking me anymore. Recently played through an old Peavey 215d with black widows, fell in love and bought 2 of them. (4) 15s at a total weight of 260 pounds. Usually only drag one 215 to a gig, but it still doubles the weight of my 212 & 210 neos combined. Yup, made things harder on, and a liar out of myself at the same time - all in the name of big beefy tone.

Anyone else find themselves disagreeing with their own well-intentioned advice a year later?

Yes. It's called learning. It's OK - we're allowed to change our minds and get smarter as we go.

Thinking that High School Musical was the best "band" in the world.

I was freakin 11 or 12

 

[unbridled]

I contradict myself in posts all the time

 

[unbridled]

No, I don't

 

[Stumbo]

Yes, no.....sometimes.

 

[Pilgrim]

I'll give you a definite tentative hypothetical assurance on that.

It's always a bit cringe-inducing when somebody revives a thread I posted in a few years ago. Was I right? Was I wrong? Will I have to apologize or justify?

Generally speaking I wasn't too wrong most of the time, but I've said some inaccurate and foolish stuff too.

I always post with my fingers crossed. That way I can always say that I didn't really mean it.

 

[geeza]

^ didn't mean that. He also thinks High School Musical is the best band in the world.

The worst is when other people dig up your old posts and point out the contradictions for you, to win a debate.

That's the problem with the internet, text stays around for a long, long time. I said some real idiot things on usenet when I got my first internet connection.. and the damn things never go away. Forums these days are a little better, they tend to purge posts to save on disk space, but it can still take years.

It depends on what your definition of is is.

What? You didn't say is?

Then I must refer you to my previous statement.

Yes. It's called learning. It's OK - we're allowed to change our minds and get smarter as we go.

...unless we're politicians, then it's called "flip-flopping" and apparently it's not OK.

Never!!
