Dartzeel NHB-108

Apparently, after talking with Frank, this was merely a misunderstood joke, with no harm intended, that went a little over the top. No harm, no foul, AFAIC. Andrew, sorry the thread got hijacked, and I was a part of it. I in fact have heard the DarTzeel, and would be happy to discuss my thoughts with you. Maybe offline :-) I think it best this thread undergo expeditious necropsy and we all get back to our audio lunacy in a more convivial manner. And Crump, you of all people should know that you never REALLY get rid of that kind of bump, you just pay and pay and pay, and hope it goes away.

Oh yes Aponter4, I can certainly see how reading this thread that you can come to the conclusion that I take myself too seriously. You are certainly free to trust whomever and whatever you choose. But as I remember from this previous post here on A-gon (http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1077288045&openusid&zzAponter4&4&5#Aponter4) , you insulted the heck out of me, told me I pissed you off and then everyone else pointed out to you that I was joking then too - after which I was gracious to you and laughed at your post. In that post you also acknowledged that I previously helped you on the phone with your questions on the Kharmas. So, after a previous experience where YOU were too serious and where you realized that I am a terminal jokster, who is really taking this stuff too seriously?

MES, thanks for the post. Andrew and I e-mailed tonight and laughed about this getting out of hand and we agreed that we will leave these matters to private e-mails from now on. To again set the record straight (for other than Aponter4 who would have me committed), Andrew knew ahead of time that I was joking and as far as I am concerned, the only one who could possibly be mad (Jonathan) told me on the phone he knew it was a joke.

So can we please let this joke gone astray die a peaceful death?

Hey, guys wow! Things that make you go hmmmm. Anyway, what about the Dartzeel? :^)

I think it's possible that Frank feels misled by me, and I hope that wasn't the case. I frankly did not comprehend the extent to which he wanted to take his humorous asides, and Frank has been more than generous with time, advice, and practical help in the past. My understanding was that we were slightly tweaking (pun intended) Andrew, but no more. In any case, his ownership of hideously expensive Kharmas testifies far more eloquently to his lunacy than any post he could ever possibly dream up.

HEY THIS IS JUST FOR FUN! NOBODY IS TAKING ANYBODY SERIOUSLY HERE. I COULDN'T HAVE LAUGHED HARDER LAST NIGHT AS I WAS WRITING MY ANSWER. THE SAME WAY THAT I DID ON THAT PRIOR THREAD AND THAT I'M SURE YOU DO TOO WRITING YOUR OWN ANSWERS FRANK. BUT IF YOU GIVE IT , YOU TAKE IT, THAT'S ALL!
