By the way, nice emoticon upgrade chess!

Some good points, Tom, and thanks for the support.

Yes, some things ARE "better" than others. But, the thing we have to keep in mind about the word "better" is that that term is COMPLETELY subjective. The problem comes when one tries to make "better" an objective, or absolute, term. You can't measure better or demon state it with numbers. It's an opinion.

If you find speaker A "better" than speaker B, and I find B "better' than A, neither of us is wrong, and neither should be offended. Speaker A IS better than speaker B....to you. And that is a completely valid opinion.

Rather than saying nobody should say something is "better" than something else, thereby restricting free speech and the right to have and express an opinion, it seems to me, we should accept that it is only an opinion being expressed. And, having and expressing an opinion is both reasonable, valid, and permissible. If your opinion differs from the one expressed, that is also reasonable, valid, and permissible. And remember, opinions are not arguable. Opinions are neither right nor wrong. They just are an opinion.

OK! OK! I apologize, again. Save money with the Outlet!

ummm...

I know we've had some silly arguments around here in the past. (wires, amps, receivers, etc...) but this much emotion being put into the use of the word "upgrade" seems to put all our other threads to shame. At least those rants were about electronics.

Switch to decaf guys.

Ok, that's it Ray. That tears it.
Where do you live? We need to have a serious outdoor chat.

Chess, I think we should stop here. Aside from hijacking this poor guys thread, we see the issue differently, and if we continue it will just turn into a "but you said," "no, I said" thing.

I have great respect for you and all the regulars here on the Axiom forum. You have helped me a number of times and, in all sincerity, I'm grateful. I will continue to use the words "upgrade" and 'better" when I deem it reasonable, and accurate. You are free to do as you please.

Lets just agree to disagree.

Thanks.

Don't you mean downgrade to decaf?

Boy! First I'm told what I can or cannot say. Now I'm told what to drink. Pushy! Pushy! Pushy!

Don't take him up, Ray! I assume that chess is picturing himself on that Browning M2 .50 cal. You'd have no shot with those two puny pistols.

Can't we all just get along? :-)

John, I believe you are correct. Before I stood an even chance, I would need to...... (wait for it)...... upgrade my weaponry.

I need to lie down in the dark for awhile and see if I can bring my "too much fun" twitch under control. I also need to wipe my eyes. I'm sitting here in a quiet den all by myself laughing out loud as I type and tears are running down my face. My wife just mentioned something about going to get "the special smoking jacket with the really long sleeves that wrap around me".
