Everyone, It had been suggested to me by a couple of people to right up my story about how I fisrt got the Phono Fever at the age of 26 years old. Unfortunately it will contain parts of my life away form the topic of Phonos as I overcame major life issues. I guess now it would be inappropriate to post my story here. If any of you that encouraged me to do this, and if you still would like to read my story, please contact me off board. As I donot want to cause problems or get people here upset with me. I to am sorry for posting my off topic personal major life event. I really did not mean to ruffle anyones feathers, Kenneth

Yes, one purpose of the list is to share & further knowledge about the hobby. Phono-L is also a conduit for socialization among those of us who share common bonds. Folks, if you get your panties in a wad over some non-phono related chatter, run your own listserve and make the rules. Hang out here, you play by my rules.
