Well, brandon, i thank you for taking the time with me that is probably required. I do understand more and I'm glad you focused on my behavior for part of it vs. just debating AT. I guess this all developed because i was told to stay away from Audio-technica before i even started using microphones. Had my teacher told me this after my bad experiences, i wouldn't have had such a bias on AT. I swear i understand you about saying "i've had nothing with bad luck" vs. "_____ Sucks!" However, i have to stand up for myself and remind you that i was beyond pissed with AT when i wrote this stuff originally. I'm sure you can relate to this in one way or another.... (or, maybe not??)

Look, I'm not new to audio, but i am new to this site and "internet forums" altogether. You have my word that i will not close any doors on beginners anymore. ( You can say i may have done this because my door for AT was closed by my teacher ). My teacher, by the way, is a very frustrated person. ( once my friend joe got into trouble, and my teacher said to him "let me put this into words you can understand. STOP BEING A F****G A** Hole.

So i know it sounds gay or whatever but i do care about my relationship with you. Thats why i said i didn't mean to piss you off. I think that's what is cool about you though, is that i could talk to you in one forum, and we could be totally disagreeing with each other, and then we could be on the same side on another. I'm going to be seeing a lot of you around this site for the next few years and i just don't want to damage my reputation with you so soon.

Thanks gain, all the best.
