Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D

Only three scenarios here: 1. He actually DID lose a family member and chose an amazingly inappropriate use of this event to engender sympathy, 2. Nobody died and he's grasping at straws which is slightly weirder, and 3. He's joking, although seeing the post from Charles1dad I somehow doubt that and can only conclude this guy is 12 (that could be the 4th scenario).

Sorry, but I simply don't think this forum should be used as a condolence generator...that's just inelegant, cringe inducing, and an utter buzzkill.

Sorry for the loss of your grandfather Melbguy1.

Thank you for your kindness. Also this will be my last post on this forum as I have decided to cancel my membership effective immediately.

Melbguy1,
It's evident that you're experiencing some obvious stress and tough times in your life presently. I really hope your circumstances are properly addressed and things improve and you can resolve your personal crisis.
Sincerely,
Charles,

Melbguy1, you gotta realize you are on a free internet website with STRANGERS so should NOT take anything personal. You are probably not going to meet 95% of Agon members and probably DON'T want to meet 99.9% of them. LOL!!!

Seriously, I want to offer my condolences for your loss. Hang in there!

We all lose ones close to us and it is never easy for anyone!
I've certainly been there and will be again. I can understand everyone's take on this, and wouldn't life be boring if we were all the same.
Heck, I even feel bad when a tube dies!
