I would suggest that you read all the forum rules or be ready to be roasted.

I would suggest you lurk for awhile before stepping in. It is one of the best tech site out there that I know of, but the sites admin. Does not tolerate violations of there rules.

I feel the love, I feeel the love! (Kev, we need that eye-blinkin'-love-thingy icon back!).

My take on cc.com is, treat it like going to a lounge full of unioned engineers. There's a bunch of sharp minds there. My own personal experience with engineers is that, they express themselves well. They get to the point, no fluff, no beating around the bush. They hate repeating themselves. If I want to ask a question, I better word it right and know that I've tried every other options.

I'm lucky to work with one of the best audio tech person in the nation that I can rely on. He's not exactly Mr. Nice Guy, though he's a little less fiesty now that he's in his 50's and have 2 kids. The guy is very systematic and concise, and that's how we have to deal with him. Lots of time he'd tell the guys to RTFM (read the f------' manual). He may sound like an arse, but he's actually a cool guy. He's just very efficient and hates wasting time.

And that's my personal take on cc.com, and indirectly Jon A, Sean G, Mike T, (almost sounds like the Beasties!), and the rest of the engineers/technical peoples. Not to say these guys aren't friendly and act above it all! I respect them alot, and feel lucky to have them around. And I feel this way to everyone on this board, too! We have a collection of cool people here.


Oh, as far as frrax.com, I liken it to having BBQ with a bunch of knowledgable car guys, shooting the $hit, having brewskies, and looking at girls every now and then (except Mitch, cos he's waaay too old... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ).
