  7. Where? And whats he up to these days. Tell him not to be a HC stranger.
  8. I think several members can confirm the latter
  9. Agreed. We recently attended a head-fi meet in a manner so ironic we didn't actually bother to listen to anything.
  10. Turn on the speakers / subwoofers for project CARS / Star Wars Battlefield. What are the temporary Air B'N'B ers going to do? Complain? And with what standing, exactly?

(This was a response to 90% marginal tax rates ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_taxation_in_the_United_Kingdom#20th_century) Now I wear Jeans in the US. And get paid more. The previous decade and a half in California seems to have shrunk my suits Never met a compiler it made a difference to.
