Marshall, you are officially an idiot.
A little clarification:
1) I did not start with insults. I started with comments about your sour grapes, and a comment about how I thought it was hypocritical (although I used softer language) that you tore up a historically significant piece in hopes of cashing in on the registry game, and when you didn't get the grades you wanted, you called out PSA for being crooked. It was your responses that encouraged the insults, particularly one questioning my level of education.
2) I do not have Yoda-like knowledge about prewar baseball cards; I am a child in comparison with the knowledge of others on this board. On this board I respect the people who share their knowledge in an intelligent, respectful manner, and you have not done that. All you've done is complain about your grades, brag about your sale prices, and prattle on with your ridiculous comments about the rock and roll business, of which you are no more a part than any other guy with a guitar and a demo tape.
3) I would imagine that you obtained your studio engineer and mixer the same way most other bands do - by paying them or by signing a development deal with them. Certainly neither of them worked for points, because engineers generally only do that when they think the record might actually sell. And of course, if you pay someone to engineer your record, you'll list them on your CD credits.
4) As for who "created" emo, I would imagine that Ian MacKaye and the folks at Dischord Records might disagree with your assessment. So would Sunny Day Real Estate, Shudder To Think, Husker Du, and every DC or LA indie or skate punk band from the 80s.
5) Can't comment on the golf stuff, because I know nothing about golf, but once again, I can't wait for the season to start.
6) Your comments about Joann, along with your comments about your "favorite hottie," are the type of comments I would expect from someone for whom women are a foreign concept. I'm not surprised.
