This is pretty tame compared to a lot of other usenet groups. As for
your search for something informative and useful, what exactly are you
looking for? Post a rocketry question and you'll get plenty of
informative and useful answers here.

People should also remember, that rocketeers are no different for other
model builders. When we get together...be it at a monthly club meeting,
a contest, or here in cyber-space...that we talk about a *lot* of off-topic
things. Modelers, in general, are of above-average intelligence; and are
also well-informed in current events, politics, history, etc. We talk
about such things with each other, because we *can*. Compare that with
our typical day at work; where one's coworkers are not capable of engaging
in such types of conversations.
We also are very talented at sharing humor of the most ribald and
politically incorrect nature (the best kind of humor, by far...)!
You are also correct in suggesting that one needs to *ask* for information;
as opposed to just waiting for it to fall into their laps. Modelers
are very willing to "share the knowledge"; but we do *not* usually
support the "hobby welfare state"...catering to people just waiting
for a handout.

Cripes,
One just needs to look at the subject line and see if one is
interested. If not, then go on to something else. I found the
subject line of the book ripoff tedious and I just went on to something
else.

BOSE IS CRAP! Buy Genelecs and never look back. I got a set of 1031's
a few years back and they eclipse my Seventh Veil's that I paid over
$12,000 for.

I use a 1971 Sansui. Excellent frequency response. Power transistors
get pretty hot though, so a soon as I "smell amp" the big cooling
blower gets fired up...
Fried two sets of speakers, and thus far the only ones holding steady
are a pair of CV V253 MKII's...
Got the pair for $100 bucks at a garage sale...

Indeed.
I use a Technics integrated amp, speakers I constructed myself utilizing
ADS tweets, JBL mids and Nakamichi midwoofs and back them up with a big,
boomy Cerwin Vega 15" sub. I AM the king of flap, baby.
I enjoy strapping so called "audiophiles" into a chair in my living room
and torturing them for hours on end. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. I got your
flat response right here.
I spent almost a decade working in the audio industry, and if I learned
one thing it was the concept of "good enough"....well, and that any
cable that cost more than 5 bucks is a waste of money. So two things.

You sure did learn wrong. I guess that's why you don't work in the
industry any longer.
Yeah really!
'Member the days when comments like that would quickly degenerate into
a full blown usenet thermonuclear detonation?
Oh, wait...
That's currently going on down in "FAA Waiver Question"...
