Glory, Haha, have to laugh; my mind is already past that. A joke along that line didn't even enter my mind. What you see was my feeble attempt to inject a coded language into the mix. It reads, "I think we should communicate by code," or similar. ...

"Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality?

Kirksaeter Prisma Speakers
