| Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market? @dadork,@cd318 +1@millercarbon +1This pandemic will kill more people with the attempted restraints than the actual virus.

| Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market? @nonoise,You need to distinguish between infections and death rates. There is quite a difference.

| Do you, or did you, have Audiophile buddies that you shared music, gear, times with? @whatjd ,The actor Steve McQueen had told his son, Chad, after his son had a hardship, Steve said "life ain't fair"....perhaps simplified, but rooted in truth.
