I had a good friend sign up here, he's not posted once and not sure he's been back since as this place was far to tame for the likes of a union organizer like himself.
I think some of us have a lot of respect for some here on the board. Even if we are worlds apart in our beliefs (not many really are. As normal, if we were in the same room having a few drinks common ground would come rather quickly after the initial pissing match)
Stick around Boba...it's a good time if nothing else

I remember when I was on a local political BBS (For youngsters, BBS does not mean Better Bullshit) forum. We fought like hell and then one day someone suggested we all meet for pizza and beer. It was interesting putting faces with the political positions. We kept periodically meeting for several years until the internet destroyed BBS systems.
PC is surprisingly mild and rational relative to a lot of political forums. It seems that usually they get completely dominated by one particular position or just devolve into simple shouting matches. Here, I think there is a nice balance. I find it much more interesting and fun than debating the finer points of speaker wire.

I once got a really good deal on a pair of bi-wired speaker cables as thick as garden hose. $300, original MSRP was $1,400.
My impression after extensive use?
Those stupid things are so dang stiff you need a conduit bender to hook them up. Then when you're all done.......You realize that the $1 a foot monster cable wasn't all that bad after all.

Did BBS come before or after the advent of smoke signals?

IF YOU PAY FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN LAMP-CORD, YOU HAVE BOUGHT THE SNAKE-OIL AND WASTED YOUR MONEY!!!!!
Couldn't resist.
BTW, I use old extension cords, and they seem to work quite well.
Regards,
D-Ray

I concur. The wildest I went was twisting up some Cat-5 cables and covering it with Tech-Flex. I only did that because I had the Cat-5 and the covering.
