And so it came to pass, on 06-09-97 08:06,
   that Bonnie Goodwin spake unto Matt Ion:

Not really... I've been lurking here, just hasn't been much to spark my 
interest.  Exotic turntables and esoteric guitar-amp tubes aren't really my 
thing :-)

I'm sure those pin-three-hot guys would say the same about "us".  Alas, 
there's no real way to point a finger -- someone once mentioned to me that 
"pin three hot" was a European thing, but then there are some European 
manufacturers who use pin two, and some "new worlders" who use pin 3... in my 
experience, pin-two-hot equipment only slightly outweighs the pin-three 
stuff, so it can't really be considered an anomaly.  
Of course, some people seem to have to be different just for the sake of 
being different... not mentioning any names *coughJBLhackSPEAKERSwheeze!*

Love, luck, and lollipops...
