It was a quiet evening in the Grotto Lobby, as outside, tumbleweed was blowing through the main street of Deadman's Gultch. Only the occasional coyote howl cut through the sound of the wind. The place was deserted. Perhaps all the folks were over at Head-Fi, shootin' the breeze. Either that or at home listening to the latest pile of albums through their cans. Anyhow, Rod moseyed on over to the bar, he was sure somebody would turn up eventually. If they didn't, well that would be their loss, after all he had a thirst and the beer sure was looking good. He got a cold one, sat down on the low sofa, and put his boots up on the table (no manners, this one). Leaning over, he jabbed the buttons on the jukebox. Joe Perry kicked the place into life with "Let The Music Do The Talking". Things would maybe pick up later, it was still early. Patience he had... in spades. Only problem was you needed a few more for a round of poker. Joe Perry and the band carried on out the door and into the night. Maybe the music WOULD do the talking, he would see to that. ;D

Ha-ha! Never mind, from small acorns, etc.
Anyway,
Merry Christmas to you, and any other Forum members who make their way here!

I think we should be happy with the quality (if not the quantity) of postings. I was wondering if we should all add links to the forum in our"Head-Fi" sig's, or would that be poor netiquette?

I have put a link to my amp build (posted here) on my head-fi sig. Seems a subtle way of doing it, and am getting some hits.

I know... try-
"Rent-A-Mob" 0800 000 000
Rent a Mob for any occasion. Weddings, parties, internet forums, pub fights, etc. Choose your Mob personalities from the following - Refined, Argumentative, Fun-loving, Newbie, Twat, Intellectual, Scientific, Flamers, Hobbyist, Psychopath, and Ferrets. Special requests at an additional premium.
Every "Rent-A-Mob" includes extra-hard bouncers, to keep out the riff-raff (unless you choose to select "riff-raff" as your Mob).
Liven up any party or forum!
Be the envy of all your friends!
PayPal accepted. Contact...

Apparantly they are sending along the following but they say some of them may be substituted by different people hence the "mixed bag": A farmer An agricultural engineer A baker A village idiot A disgraced politician David Ike David "Diddy" Hamilton One of the Krankies A traffic Warden Several lager louts A few spotty youths Nelson Mandela A giro gang from Hackney a female weather reporter from Anglian TV Keith Chegwin "cheggers" A mute steeplejack from Huddersfield Several species of small furry animals...... A racist A sexist An Ageist An athiest A vegetarian several non smokers a few "Europeans" an argumentative bastard a thread crapper a spammer an escaped lunatic a flasher A self opinionated bore a transvestite Paul Daniels and wife Richard and Judy a fire eater a juggler a sexual deviant a junkie a religious bigot and a surprise "bonus" person. Sounds like a good mix of folk to me

Global Moderator, eh?
Sounds good. Does the position come with a 250k salary, company jet, MP-style pension, and all the headphone gear I can listen to?
I might have to reconsider my plans then...

Anyone mind if I "coerce" some head-fiers to come? Hi Kade, I'd rather you didn't for a few reasons: A: "Coerce" means to force to act or think in a certain way by use of pressure, threats, or intimidation. Not a good idea. B: This little forum is primarily an add on to my website for people wanting to discuss things featured on it like X-Can tweaks, WNA, Chiarra etc. etc. I don't relish the idea of it being packed full of people discussing Udon noodles ;/i C: I'm loyal to HF and don't want to use HF to tout around for members...... if anyone happens across this place then fine but I certainly don't approve of anyone here canvassing for members. D: Quality doesn't mean quantity.

Besides - this is a place where we can discuss stuff without the "excessive rules and restrictions" as long as we are rational and civil...which I rarely am You see I have made it a point to terrorize every sink I find...
