I dun tink so Bloo Bair
Your very first post (all beit hidden from the average wild staring eye) was filled with your all mighty sarcasm.
Its almost as if everything you say should be followed by a sarcastic "DUH!"
You see I have amazing powers of observasion and seeing how Im a smartass myself I can see your smartass coming amile away.
See you came in and stated your opinion about drum clips as if it was fact. As if what you say is final. End of discussion. Resistence is futile.
You answered questions I never asked in attempt to show all the ingrates that fall short in the shadow of your wisdom how smart you are. For I never asked about drum clips. I never asked about mounting technichs. I only asked if the End Cap on my SM 57's was SUPPOSED to be loose by design for if they were not I would have knonw I had defective equipment. You kept on giving answers to stupid questions I never asked.
And you didnt like my reply to that. I guess you were looking for a reply more like.......
" Oh gee thank you Blue Bear I was so stupid not to think that a clip mounted right to a tom would cause vibrations that would intern vibrate this mic which has a loose endcap. And to think it was Marketing Nazis all along that planned this out to just to ruin my recording session lastnight"
Nope didnt reply with that one. I replied with something more like....
Gee thanks Bear thats a good idea unfortuantly its an answer to a question i never asked............NEXT
So you inturn reply with even more sarcasm. And then Nit Pic me like the uptight asshole you are because I chose to ask folks in the recording forum aswell. Which inturn escalated because you THOUGHT you were so right and you were so damn wrong. You gave me the worst advice out of any that replied yet Ill bet you thought you hit the nail on the head lol Of course you did you know and see all (cough) posts.
See your one of those know it all's that likes to state the obvious so it looks like you know what your talking about. Granted I can tell you do have some quality engineering experience. But I can also tell that your KNOW IT ALL attitude is probly whats held you back from being 10 times the engineer that you could have been today.
That "Im right this is wrong throw it out the window!" attitude is the furthest possible thing from being the RIGHT WAY. IMO
AND AS FAR AS THIS TIF ABOUT THE CROSS POSTING!
(and this is directed to the Nit Pickers. you know who you are. And I will also know who you are shortly cause you will probly be posting here to flame me)
When you guys so vaugely state "We see all posts" are you refering to setting the option to where you see every new post from all forums in one listing?
If so I say goodie for you thats your option to be bombarded with a mix of differnt types of topics. (No wonder you think im spamming you)
I may only have a few posts on this BBS but I am no noob to a BBS. And I have been droping by this board from time to time for info since Feb 2001. (As you can plainly see by my register date to this BBS) And to this day I still browse this BBS by forums. I do not SEE ALL POSTS. and I dont want to SEE ALL POSTS.
Personaly I like to choose a forum first. Its more orderly and I get to the info Im looking for faster. And I dont get bombarded with very similar posts. Im sure there may be 1 or 2 others that frequent this board that do the same. For if they do then the chance that they would have missed my post in the "MIC FORUM" was pretty high. And I knew the Recording Forum would also be a great place to find my answer as Im shure theres mabey 1 or 2 people in this demographic which own a SM 57 aswell. Which is what my topic and question was about. I was asking ALL SM 57 owners a question.
So again im sorry you choose to see ALL NEW POSTS but I feel thats your problem not mine.
I know damn well the importance of a no cross posting etiquite on popular boards.
I still feel confident that me posting in 1 addtional forum. (only 1 mind you. Only one that was another VERY appropriate forum for this topic.) was not spam! Granted mabey desperate

but not spam. And surly not deserving this bombardemnet of Nit Pics.
Ya see when I signed up noone pulled me aside and said "Hey you got to set your view so you see posts from all forums in one mixed up list. Its just the way its done here."
And I dont care what you seem to think but not everyone SEES ALL POSTS! There are many that choose to surf by topic. With that said say the perfect engineer that has the one and only answer to my question logs on and browses through the recording section. Mabey to check replies from previous night mabey continuing ongoing discusions mabey not. What are the chances he might logg off with out visiting the MIC forum to see my one and only post to which he has the one and only answer?
Probably pretty high a. Granted Im taking this metaphor to the extream but no more extream then you Nit Pickers have done to me
So personaly I feel that if your uptight because I posted this topic into 2 appropriate forums on a site which has so many similiar forums then thats your problem. I mean if your so wound up inside that you have to take time to come in here and nit pic me about these 2 posts (2 mind you. 2 posts in very appropriate forums) then I really could care less what you think.
I mean comon man you guys are hitting me like I spammed this in a dozen forums. Its BS I tell you.
Its 2 posts in appropriate forums. Get over it! Sounds to me like its your guys choice to view ALL POSTS. I mean what do you expect when you merge 20 differnt lists into one list. Think theres a chance youll see the same thing twice?
Naaa your right I will obey the nit pickers ................NOT!
