Has there ever been a thread that acknowledges members that do not post enough? First name that comes to mind is: Ubiquitousbubba
I will second that! U.B.'s posts are always enjoyable. He's one of the few writers I'll read even if the topic is of no interest to me.
Another who doesn't post enough, but who has left some gems, is Legion ("Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know which one bapu licked and the put back in the box.")
But my favorites are the certifiable wingnuts who post wacky stuff without realizing how wacky it is. The quotes below are
actual quotes, copied verbatim from this forum (I collect them, it's a cheaper hobby than clown figurines or snowglobes).
- The ones who reveal unfathomable ignorance of technical matters while confidently offering their own expert advice. ("Highs over 10KHz suck with 44.1Khz becouse the Nyquist theorem its wrong.")
- A subset of the above group, those who blame software for their own shortcomings. ("I lost another project due to Sonar's incompetency.")
- The ones who gave up on trying to master English in the first grade. ("ya but the concept behind the studi inst stings with the 3 vilos and bass, is great the sound are not bad better able to mix the strings via pian view andwith the visual abillity of 3 string inst in front of me")
[Note: I never ridicule non-English speakers' mangling of English. I have embarrassed myself in other languages too often to throw those stones. The above quote is from a native English-speaker.]
- The musically-bigoted youngsters who think anyone who can play a musical instrument is a dinosaur (remember "guitar-slinging primates"?), or that hip-hop and EDM are the ultimate culmination of man's musical evolution ("Pop music is rubbish so is folk and country i do not know why those styles of music exist total rubbish if you ask me!")
- The ramblers who aren't informative, aren't offensive, aren't funny, just incomprehensible. ("The sum of 10 tracks at equal volume with be less than the sum of 1 track at equal volume.")
We need more of these folks. Perhaps not here in the CH, but generally.
