That fourth one is a little scary actually....could be the plot for a new M Night Shyamalan movie.
Imagine the scene where Les realizes he has been communicating with only himself...on what is in reality......
...the PRLES Forum!!!

Sometimes I feel bad about my post count, then I realize that most of 'em are one liners or me sayin' Bangin'! and I feel a lil' better.
Totally. I found myself getting aggro back in October and took a month off. I also ditched FaceBook and Twitter and found that those two were really my sources of negativity and aggression.
I started hitting this place pretty heavily when my girl was in grad school. It didn't seem cool for me to go out all hours of the night when she had to stay home and study or sleep.. Then when I started doing overnights to look after an ailing parent, and I couldn't figure out what to do with myself to pass the time.
You know, I also feel lonely when doing music work. The advent of computers has changed studio work so much!
Most of my time is spent alone staring at a screen, clients don't "hang out" anymore, tracks get emailed back and forth instead of meeting up IRL, sh!t never breaks anymore so there are no techs to gab with, I don't even have to physically collect money anymore 'cause they just hit my PayPal... The only time I see anybody anymore is if they're tracking.
I liked it at first. I didn't have to clean up empties, no urine on my toilet seat, and I have an abundance of 9v batteries and beer. Then again it's a bit solitary and there's no roaches leftover in my ashtrays.
It's just a new reality of the lifestyle. As long as you're not busting a vein in your forehead over something: Post 'em if you got 'em.
Agreed. Plus nobody wants to talk about guitars with me, or if they do they're not PRS.

Les, I used to come to the PRS forum regularly starting at least 5 years ago, but when I did, there was so little going on that I only lurked and didn't ever join. Finally joined a few years ago, and still didn't post for over a year.
For me, there are only so many "dude, that's awesome" posts I can make in all the NGD threads. Without the discussions about the PRS amps, recording and other things music related that we discuss here on a regular basis, I wouldn't have become a regular participant. Which means two things. 1) Without you, there I wouldn't spend nearly as much time here. 2) For those of you who don't like me, BLAME LES!

Unless it's keeping you from other things you want to do, don't worry about it! Your posts are one of the highlights of the forum for me (and clearly many others). You give us a lot of good information, although it makes me want to spend too much money too often... 
Was that before or after the Greeks built it?

That's funny...earlier today I was just thinking that there weren't enough Les Threads to read...haha...keep posting frequently, Les. I enjoy your commentary.

You just need a catchphrase.
Guys, I love you all.
Serg hit the nail on the head when he talked about how solitary the work we do in studios is these days. I think I come here mainly to hang out and talk shop over stuff that I really am interested in. My friends' and my wife's eyes kind of glaze over when I start talking about guitars and studio stuff...you guys share the passion and get it.
So that combination of needing to communicate with like-minded folks, and the likelihood that I'd be dead bored otherwise, is my excuse, I guess.
I still think I post too much, but for now...well...I'd love to see more threads from other people in the Amps section of the Forum! C'mon! It doesn't have to be a really important or serious topic.

So, how about...
70s hippie? - " like, far out, man!" 80s - "Bitchin'. Totally!" 90s - "that guitar is too pretty, man. I'd have to wash my hair to play that. Give me a Fender Jaguar over that any day." 2000s - "Sweet guitar. I didn't know anyone played those anymore. I thought it was all synths and samples now." 2112- "What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it gives forth a sound."

As a total Rush fanatic, I say the 2112 version!

I tried that. Didn't work for me.
Your kid cried when I walked in the yard. Your wife threw a pot at me when I tried to join dinner. And the dogs just barked at me.
Reminds me of the very first Experience. My wife talked me into going. I called her from the event and said, "I've found my people". She said she felt bad for me because I had to go alone every year because the kids were still in school and needed rides and such. Finally, in 2012, she came down with me. She was on the phone in the van while I checked in - I didn't even make it to the hotel door before I ran into Markie, Steve and Brian (other Steve
). Ran into someone else on the way out. When I got back in the van, she said, "What the hell...?" When we got to the factory, I ran into a few other people. She got dinner first while I stayed in my seat, then she stayed while I got food (and unknowingly stood behind Hangar18). When I got back, another guy was sitting in the empty seat on the other side of her, and I heard her say, "...with my husband. Here he is." Larry turned around and said, "Oh, I didn't realize you were here with Alan!" She looked at me and said, "Okay, who the hell are you?" Later that same weekend, she looked at me and said, "No wonder you love coming to this so much." She's amazed at how this forum and group of people takes away the antisocial in me.So, she appreciates it, even if the rest of you don't!

The only reason I haven't been posting is because ( a ) I mostly have questions, and ( b ) I'm really happy with my MDT right now. And ( c ) I'm not really in the market for anything right now (temporary moratorium on buying stuff until I get rid of some stuff).

Alan, I think you were lucky.
The dog did stop barking, though...
