Steve you couldn't scare me away, but I am taking a long and well deserved break from the audio tweak enviroment. But I'll make sure when I return next month that you'll be the first to know:-)In all seriousness I was dub the tweak guru by the moderator over at avs which was a title I didn't want. But anyway I had to deal with all of these e-mails coming asking every question you could think of on how to's. After about 3 months of dealing with 25 to 35 e-mails daily from just this site I decided to take a break. Problem you run into is nobody respects your privacy and the e-mails never stop. So I go back on for another 3 months and I take another break. Again the e-mails are coming in begging for my return. So this time I put together inexpensive ideas in my Cheap Tweak 101 tread with the hope they understood I was drained.
Now I was going on vacation anyway because were MACing over to Japan to see some old friends next week for a couple weeks. The hope with this latest post is that they'll wait till I return before they start the e-mails.
Its not that you mind helping people, but when you start designing Home Theater rooms and layouts for free it begins to be too much. To give you an example I have completely designed 8 Home Theaters in the past 6 months. Two of them were jobs I was paid for by local clients, the other 6 come from this forum. And that was another reason why I posted this tread. People need to understand I don't like to work for free just because there a forum member. I don't mind giving advice but when they want drawings or designs for other projects that is another story. Even today I received another e-mail asking for me to give so called advice on how to place speakers. After several e-mails back and forth they asked for me to draw it up because they don't understand. Want to know what they offered me for payment? Next time I was in there town why don't I stop over (nice way to say work for free) and they'll make Jen (my wife) and I dinner why we casual talk audio. Want to know what happens when I told them what the drawings cost? Never got another reply back, what a surprise. But at this point they already have the room layout for free from the other e-mails.
What gets you is no matter how many times I ask not to be dubbed this title I'm mentioned again by the moderator for something else. So please don't think you had anything to do with my vacation. Your verbage needs to be toned down a bit and I admit you got under my skin just a little bit but don't worry the three weeks off should give me enough time to make a list of all the nasty words and insults that I would like to say to you upon my return:-)
Till then take care...
APM
