bigdaddyweed Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 That's gooooooood. I like it. And the only thing you forgot was a warning from the administrator, such as, You shouldn't have used bold on your font, because everyone thought you were yelling at them.

davidbg63 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I said this in another thread recently and it reminded me....you write a topic about either bridge pins, bone, strings, nut or saddle or anything else related to them.....and you will eventually have a thread of at least two pages. All leading back to bridge pins, bone, strings, nut or saddle. However I enjoy when a new topic in this forum can easily lead to something the original topic wasn't about. Take for example the Linda Ronstadt thread from a few weeks ago.......I will locate and bump it back later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
