milod Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 All kidding aside? I think there are some "standard" vanilla-type people who might consider anyone who continues playing music for years and years as a bit "off," perhaps "pleasant men and ladies," but a bit "off." And... that's all of us who remain on a forum like this and all of us who play guitars year in and year out. Or piano or.... God help us all if we all thought and perceived in the same way. I find great joy in hearing other perspectives, whether it's string choices on a guitar or perceiving a piece of music or even "politics" or "philosophy." Each of our brains are wired a bit differently. Thank heaven for that. We're the pickers; if it costs us something, so also it gives us something.

damian Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Just who IS this Damian character? LOL! Happy 1000th. This is for you. :) p. Thankyou Pippy !!!! Whenever there are unique and unusual questions about Gibby Les Pauls, you always know the answers..such as the exact differences in neck specs from LP model to LP model, down to the millimeter. You know things about Gibson guitars that even Gibson itself would have a hard time tracking down.......I might need my own forum to store all these new smilies I'm collecting...

damian Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 I hear that all the time.... Maybe a touch of ADD/ADHD here, but for the most part I'm just naturally wired. I even avoid caffeine. B) Keep it up Damian! I hear ya Neo...Even my avitar avoids coffee, except for expresso shots.....And, but you ARE kind and humble.....The forums would be a desolute and sparse living room without your vast knowledge and highly skilled opinions on each and every subject......Without your posts, the lounge would be a desert.....Everyone knows that a Neo thread is a river of refreshing intellectual and philosphical water where all members flock to quench their insatiable need for the truth......I believe that the moderaters would agree........ ...

damian Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Cornglatulations sir, you made it past the guards and the pitt bulls. I suppose so Joaquin !! Life is full of guards and pitt bulls.....Though I walk through the valley of threads, I shall fear no guards and pittbulls, for I have Joaquin on my side.....

Pick on... m Good and correct thoughts as always Milod....I have ceased to be suprised when it usually turns out that you are accurate in your thread solutions.....Gibson had to add extra bandwidth when they realised that most of your posts would require it.....They made a wise investment.....Your music rocks as well...post more...You are also the wise sage with reason who jumps in on the rare occasions when a thread begins a turn towards going south. Now that's a valuable skill.......Your thread with the question about ' line outs ' ended up being a fascinating study in possible solutions, regardless of the fact that the practical solution to your ' line out ' problem involved a solution bypassing one directly solving your recording problem...You are an optomist with pramatic answers.....

retrosurfer1959 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Probably a lot of aspies here on the forum. I mean look at it - a bunch of adults obsessed about music and guitars that are friends through keyboards and obsessions I was diagnosed Aspie about 15 years ago, double joy of Aspie and OCD - before that just said I was HFA or weird. don't know who i hate being compared to more "Good will Hunting" RainMan or whoever the hell "House" is still haven't figured the last one out guess it's somebody on TV. Oh and happy 1000 that is if your counting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are always helpful and your contributions are highly valued..........Since you are a likely future Gibson Moderator, I did not wish to show favoritism.... With a title of NO BULL, and being a Texan, before you become a rich C.E.O., you'll probably be a forum moderator; here, if not here and elsewhere....You rock Tman5293, and unlike me, you have never offended any fellow members; that's a cool skill.....

Oh and happy 1000 that is if your counting Thankyou for the post......Yup, everything you mentioned is spot on.....It's always easier after the diagnosis; mostly because it answers many questions about ' why, how, this, that, etc. ' And then life goes on as usual, or, ah, perhaps, happily unusual !!!! Cool thing about that statement is, non Aspies won't get it !!!! Thanks Retrosurfer....We are both guitar collectors; Your collection is top notch.......mine has lots of mid-level guitars, I like it though.....

You're welcome, and thankyou.....There is a ' Quiet Quality ' to your posts, a way of saying a lot without many words....And your humor is understately first class..

damian Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 There was a time when I might have made the list but I have slacked off quite a bit this past year... You are awesome Daveinspain.......forum rules limited how long the list was.....and we all know how I follow ALL of the forum rules Dave.... ..... ( One quirk about Aspergers is that we understand rules, we understand directions, and then we do things our way, it's just how it is. It can cause problems, but we don't see it as being a problem. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
