Jb, are you getting PMs from me? They claim to be sent but don't appear in my sent folder. :problem:
If the PMs have a photo of a penis attached, then yes they'll be from JB.

So far, the only dick is me.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Do violinists buy relic'd violin reissues ?
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Is there some survivorship bias here?

LIke I'm sure most/all Stradovarius' (or '59 Les Pauls or whatever) were good... but the really old ones are the really awesome ones which were awesome enough to hold on to and protect?

(in other words, if you got a lemon of a '59 it'd just go to shit and be thrown away)
