Sorry, Charles \:D . I haven't listened to that Live album (Awake) too much in the last year and most of my listening has been while driving in my truck. Imaging on my factory GM radio is a little more limited. \:D

Posting has been changed at my request, never intended to offend anyone if it was taken as such. Appologies to those who were offended.

Come on guys, lighten up. I don't think that could be taken as offensive in any real way. But, I'm not easily offended (as you can see by my baby smoking photo), so I have exhausted my two cents.

Agree..it seems some people are just looking to be offended or are looking for an offense in nearly anything nowadays.

We all need to take Clint Eastwood's recent advice when he said, "The world would be a better place if we could still laugh at inoffensive jokes about different races. People have lost their sense of humor."

And for the record, I didn't see anything in that thread as a racist remark. Intent must be a consideration when ascertaining whether a comment is racist or not.....lighten up people!

As I told Adrian, I have an exaggerated sensitivity because my sister takes racism against Asians very seriously. I know he wasn't meaning any harm, but I don't see how it's hard to see that it could be interpreted as offensive by visitors to the board who don't know him.

This is true about the binding posts Adrian. On the Denon's you slide the twisted bare wire along the side edge, then when you tighten the posts it grabs onto the wire and twists it around clockwise.

Happily I missed the exchange Charles, but in principle I completely agree with your sister: people can complain all they want about political correctness when they feel everything they are saying is all in good fun, however, push so easily continues to come to shove in our society and unconscious prejudice continues to escalate and blossom into denigration/devaluation, exploitation, or even full blown violence; we need to nip these things in the bud, worry about restoring the niceties of social exchange later ("Can't we all just be friends and get along?").

Keep listening to your sister, women are not fools, it's us white guys who myopically continue to believe we have a God given right to be fatuous ("Who loves ya!?"), yes that's the gift/fruit of our karma, for better or worse (pretty soon to become much worse but hopefully not too much before I leave the planet, have to stick around for my daughter, she actually likes it here ).

Wow, glad we cleared up all the pc problems and got back to the root evil of it all. Alan my need to delete this whole thread.
