forums are great in terms of networking and promotion, and they also allow you to express & exchange opinions in a way not possible by any other means. how can that be a bad thing?

the only negative i can take from forums is the addiction factor. and as for the elitist remarks...i actually enjoy them (most of the time) they add a little variety, and they make me laugh. i dont want to read people kissing arse 24/7, lets give credit when its due, and dish out some jibes when time calls for it.

i love blackout audio.
