How true! I've learned my lesson and believe me, from now on Neil Sedaka is an elderly gentleman of moderate heft and historical significance...

Wow! Now that's what I call diplomatic!

I am confused why it was deleted? Someone posted a link to another web site that contained language that Peter found inappropriate? Then why not edit or delete the post itself? The discussion seemed fine last I read it.

I read the rules, lurked and joined... figured if I don't like it I can always stop dropping in or start my own forum... hahahahahah yeah - that's ripe...hahahahah

I don't know if the comment in question was serious or in jest, but I felt sad and embarrassed when I read it.

I'll answer that if you tell me why we park on driveways and drive on parkways.

(and in keeping with the theme of this forum, I've never driven or parked my Rics on a driveway or parkway)

I'll answer that if you can tell me why abbreviation is such a long word.

Well I'll answer all y'all if someone tells me why they call that little plexi thing on the pickguard a thumb rest...

Since we're on the subject of Imponderables: If atheletes get athelete's foot, the astronauts get mistetoe?

No, they get astronuts.

Dane: It is time for you to contact Mastercard. Your comments continue to be priceless.

Ahh...but it's not called a thumb rest, Kira. It would be called that if it were mounted above the strings. When a "thumb rest" is mounted below the strings, it mysteriously transforms itself into something called a "tug bar". So named because your fingers tug at it (for support) while you pluck the strings with your thumb. A fairly common term in Fender circles, where tug bars abound on 50's and early 60's vintage P-Basses.
