Guys, this fell into politics, one of those categories of things you |
90 |
don't discuss in polite company. Not that I'm accusing anyone of being |
91 |
polite, it's just that these aren't issues that can generally be |
92 |
resolved, and it's certainly not something that comes anywhere close |
93 |
to being on-topic here. |
94 |
|
95 |
Now, could we go back to discussing software, packages, electronics |
96 |
and amplifiers? I found that portion of the thread utterly |
97 |
fascinating... |
