members and their systems

Op as you can see it’s all just a big hot mess.  Stop trying to figure things out.  It’s hard.  That’s why people are always seeking new toys.  There is no rhyme or reason.  Just the thrill of the chase.    Is that enough to explain it?

Any other discounts (especially from Better Records), who knows. 
At least the guys who make money from this stuff identify themselves here, but they are less “damn serious” than MC.
