"The collected wisdom of any forum is anything but"


Agreed.

And a consensus may not be the facts, nor the truth.
And facts and truth are often resented because they detract from the "collected wisdom" and consensus.

Back to the fifth dimension! Bye. ��

LOL!! Naw, I was just using the "Mr." to be polite. I was actually talking about a guy whose name starts with a consonant... or maybe it was a vowel. Oh! Right, there were a couple - one each!

Always detune a guitar when you are done tinkering with it.

Correct, because that would be a rather strange way to go about humidifying....

Try to remove the word "best" from your vocabulary and mind.

[Howard Klepper]

Do not treat your guitar as an object of quasi-religious veneration.

Do not treat your playing or your instrument as a subject of moral obligation.

Ignore any comment or thread that purports to "command" you to do anything.

Except it seems to filter out words 3 letters long and shorter. So when you want to research "gig bag" it turns up nothing and you have to use Google.
