As a banjo player, I resent this remark. 😃  
**Andrewdt85** - Dude, just SHUT THE FUCK UP for a while, willya? All the inane and incomprehensible shit you’re spewing is seriously annoying. The only thing more annoying? Your utter refusal to even contemplate that you’re the one shitting all over the board.

In my perfect world, willful ignorance at this level would be a capital offense.

Enough of this keyboard flatulence. **Andrew** , you’re becoming a pest. _Read_ the FAQs and stickies; for the love of coherency, read what other people post. A message board is a give-and-take, not a one-man show.

Sheesh.

This sucker isn’t just closed; it’s summarily shot and buried.

> It’s incorrect b/c he interprets what I say before that as meaning that I hadn’t yet read what the moderator who had closed my thread in MPSIMS had written yet, whereas what I’m saying happened was that I checked back up on it like every minute this morning (excitedly :D) and saw a lock on it, and came here to ask what was going on, worried.

> With that ^^^ last post there, you get the last word, making me the fool and thus the thread was used against me in another thread today. That’s unfair. The entire practice of locking, then posting why should be changed.

First of all, I didn’t lock that ATMB thread, I just posted to it. Another mod locked it later on. Considering how pointless it was, I’m guessing he/she didn’t feel that an explanation was necessary.

Second of all, you’re right – I didn’t look at the time stamps on the locked MPSIMS thread and assumed that you had started that ATMB thread asking why your thread was closed before even reading the thread itself. I had somehow gotten the impression that you are both prolific and stupid. I can’t imagine why. Anyway, my bad.
