Hi Gary:

Interesting! We have a "healthy" debate on sound(s) and hearing. I'll be looking forward to "Earl's" response... and then yours. LOL! I promise to be impartial. My original intent was to make a fairly new participant here feel welcome. This forum has a cliquish feel to it for newcomers and it takes a while to "learn the ropes" and "pecking order."

It is such a valuable resource to me in keeping up with this little segment of our ever-changing world and guys like you, Donnie and Mason always know how to "humanize" things and put opinions in "laymen's terms." Then there is Nigel who keeps it all in balance.

All the best, ----Dave Rice
