“BLOCK” Function?

  I’ve tried a search here for such a function,and I’ve come up empty. Is there a way to block certain members? Not just from personal messages,but so they don’t show up in any topic I’m reading. Sometimes it’s nice to ask a question and learn something without someone trying to rub your nose in your lack of knowledge like a dog that did his business in the house.  I am all for learning from others. That’s one of the reasons I frequent this site. However,there are some folks here that do have vast knowledge, but are as abrasive as 40 grit sandpaper. For those folks I’m ready to throw the baby out with the bath water.

asvjerry,

I have to disappoint you, or confirm your suspicions. I have no answers to your questions about DAC, except that it means Digital Audio Company. I do not have any idea if they get better with more zeros, but I overheard someone saying that they need 1 thrown between those zeros every now and then. Do not quote me about that, I have never verified it.

Rum is less than my specialty, but if we need to talk about grapefruit juice, I may give it a shot.

Apparently, rum is a successful tweak in that cartoon.

For some of them it is not only virtual. I just wonder if one qualifies as "group".

That's already what happens here. There's a distinct group of alcoholics view every thread as a bar, and they are like Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas out to drink themselves to death in the virtual pub crawl to end all virtual pub crawls.  

They're lucky its only a virtual pub crawl. Or it wouldn't be Leaving Las Vegas. It would be A Bronx Tale.

I'm telling ya, even with two rums in my I can write this. Someone needs to do something. They clearly are not paying me enough.

Probably shouldn’t post after hours of rum and weed but we only live once (as this particular system of memories anyway) so here we go.

Forum like this is a virtual bar. You can learn some things some time, but you can only chew on fuses, digital vs. analog, and cables so many times. If you insisted on only focused approach to audio, you would have much less content and less visitors. Things that interest you can be found and direct practical questions are answered directly and practically more often than not. If one insists on audio-only, subscription to a professional organization journal may be better investement of money and time.

Even this thread, with so many responses, shows that people are interested in talking about virtually nothing.

Just imagine what a mess it would become if people had the ability to post pictures.

This thread may give a basis for "block thread" button.

"...If one can be a Marxists, I aught to be able to be naked in my backyard... Right.. I mean fair is fair right?"


As a side note, a number of countries with abundant nudist beaches and similar culture taught Marxism in school. Those other ones were often called Puritans and were not much fun.
