I'll just have to accept that I'm just not funny. If only Keith Lemmon would do the same, I wouldn't feel so bad...
It's all in the punch line there, bud.
No worries here- it takes a lot more to offend me and frankly I'm surprised at how emotional some folks are getting. I have seen plenty of vets who use the large mods you speak of having plenty to say about those using small devices.
Unfortunately the feeding frenzy ensues when someone challenges another member on their taste in equipment. Find a thread about clones if you need evidence.
Glad you found what you like, but keep an open mind. Most of us who use larger devices have been there as well. It's a natural progression type of thing.
Cheers-
