My post, which was Post #2 at the time, went almost exactly like this. (and if someone has it quoted somewhere, please feel free to correct me). Going from memory, this is what I said:
"I have the attention span of a 4 year old, so I didn't get through all of that. But basically, here are a couple of things you need to know:
1) If you buy an interface, you don't need a mixer and you won't be using your sound card.
2) If you....oh look. A puppy."
That was almost exactly what I posted. If anyone really believes that warranted deleting and a "scolding" in a private message, then so be it. Personally, I think there was some major over-reacting going on.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion. That's mine.
