Please, let's not denigrate a line from a Dylan tune. I'm quite sure he would want no part of these discussions. Just to recap, what is disturbing are the frequent threads that are slipped into the forum by people feigning enthusiasm for particula...

I'm no cheapskate but don't forget that you can still find good quality cassettes at thrift store for twenty-five cents, yes $0.25. I also find CDs at thrift stores for forty cents, yes $0.40. Good times!
