For the life of me I just don't understand why rgro got such a bee in his bonnet over my original statement and has continued on this crusade to get me to say "okay I fu*ked up, sorry" so wWTF here it is: OKAY I FU*KED UP, SORRY Now that is out of the way I would still like to know which John Swenson is allowing UpTone Audio to use his forum posts as part of their advertising. Oh wait, it must be because the John Swenson the engineer doesn't know about UpTone Audio using his forum posts as part of their advertising. Got it!
