i only publish a GPA for institutions i wasn’t kicked out of…..LOL!  Me too.  I spent 7 years to get my 4+year degree - I buried 3 years of full time credits because of poor grades.  Partying and studying don’t mix well and boy I was a party animal.  
LSA 20 Statement Speakers
@ganoI read about your poor experience with the LSA10.  However, I believe that the speaker you received is a lemon, and the scratches on the bottom seem to indicate it’s not new and was abused.  A modern new speaker shouldn’t sound that bad. 
RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . .

Help! I Need An Amp Purchase Option Other Than PayPal
