i was trying to be heavily sarcastic in that post, but apparently missed my goal and sounded like a complete asshole instead. i agree with the "if you dont like whats being said, ignore it," and usually only respond like this in threads that already have a fairly high flame-factor. arrogant elitism versus people searching for knowledge will normally cause people responding with things like "eat cock, use google," which is normally about as helpful in cases like this as asking a high school music teacher. (if they still teach music in school) i would post info about who one could talk to, which was asked in the first post, but i have no info. that being said, the IDM-est cat is the plymouth acclaim. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
