I'm glad we get to know goobster a little bit. And I hope tng will keep on questioning new members of the community. But, but, dude, dont brag too much about the mute button... It's so harsh to be muted: You come to a post, you want to participate and it says: "You cannot comment here because this user muted you". So harsh! But I must admit I like it a lot too.

Sorry about that. I've just seen spammers come on the site and post stupid shit. So I mute them. And poof! they're gone. Never have to listen to them again.

I don't think I've been muted. Yet. So maybe I'll feel differently about it then.

But, more likely, I'll go for some deep introspection about what I posted, rather than blaming someone else.

It is an extremely rare occurrence, from my experience, when the mute function is used in a casual way. With almost 100% certainty, most people know exactly why they were muted and for the most part, where I've seen it employed, I've found it justified.

Why would I want to converse with someone that actively doesn't want to converse with me?

Also, we will most definitely continue these. goobster -thanks again. I really enjoyed this one and I hope you feel good about the final audio.

Cheers!
