WTH ???? Informative Ad

[4-2-7]

Thanks Juno . I`m just on here passing time and having fun with guys who like audio and equipment and thought it was an innocent enough thread. I don`t know what I did to basically be called a dumb a _ _ ? Oh well, my wife does it pretty much every day so my skin has gotten pretty thick in my old age !

No one called you dumb, I thought I would point out the vagueness of your post as you pointed out the same in the CL add. It seems more and more today people are getting very lazy, they don't want to spell out what they are saying, post half a sentence, acronyms and what have you. When I read your title on the new post page I was thinking what are they trying to say, so I peaked in just out of pure curiosity. Then I took (had to take the time) to figure out What The Hell. Well on a site for audio, we see tons of model numbers SAS, AR XA, and so forth. Then the fact your post was to make fun of someone else because you need to be a mind reader for there ad, well I needed to be a mind reader for you post, so I said so.

On another note, the laziness is really expanding looking on Craigslist. Lately when looking in garage sales, at least 50% of the people are not putting a list of anything, no photos and just an address. So they just wasted their time posting that, who's going to drive to a garage sale and not have any indication of the type of things they will have there and you can't even call them.

This is affecting a lot of people, I used to be on a site about 8 years ago, this guy would right beautifully, spelled great and good grammar, something I can't do. Nice long article he would post and you clearly understood what he was getting at. Well after a while you could tell the texting world got a holed of him, every sentence had acronyms in them. It got to the point it took to long to figure out what he was saying. Stopped reading his post.

Hey 4-2-7, this thread has turned into something I`m not very proud of. Life is too short to be arguing on an internet forum. In the whole scheme of things, it`s just not that important. I`m sorry to you and anyone else who may have been annoyed by my post`s.

ihmark: Don't worry about it. Your tormentor has just proved that he lives up to the description under his username. Somehow he's gained a reputation totally at odds with the "all audio, no attitude" credo of this forum.

Cheers,
Larry B.

Agree Larry B. I have no problem with the thread, I mean are you kidding me that is bad to make fun of some anonymous CL ad? Might want to find a safe space.

I found it entertaining. Nothing wrong with a little humor and the occasional thread of silliness.

ihmark you have nothing to apologize for - only one poster felt the need to criticize you - everyone else didn't have a problem. Nobody else that posted had difficulty discerning the nature of your post in a couple of seconds. Even if they did they rolled with it. There really wasn't an argument either. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Thanks for the kind words fellas ! I must admit I was getting a little flustered towards the end of the thread. Now I am wondering why this thread got moved from the speaker forum to dollars and sense ?(not that the guys over here aren`t just great) The spirit of the thread was NOT about the amount asked, it was about the ad itself. I was not trying to sell the speakers, or at least I wouldn`t admit that it was my ad !
I took at the rules and still don`t see the problem, but I imagine someone complained. Anyway, enough of my petty whining and thanks again for the support ! Love this site !!!! Mark

Don't take anything or anyone's comments too seriously. We all see things differently and feel different emotions - nothing wrong with that.

Turn your stereo on, spin a record, have a cold one, and enjoy the rest of your day

Thanks ! You must have esp ! That`s exactly what I`m doing .

I always respond back with my name@local sherrif dept.gov. for the email address. Funny, I've never gotten a further response. Busted!

So you can get e-mails at name@local sherrif dept.gov?
