Maybe replace F* with Elephant just in case a kid sister happens to pass by.

I've never understood the point of this partial censorship of words that's so popular on the web these days. Do you really think that someone looks at F***ingA**hole and doesn't immediately translate it in their head to FuckingAsshole? If they don't have the instinctive mental capacity to do this without even thinking, then they're probably too f***ing stupid to worry about offending in the first place. Partial censorship is moronic. If you're going to employ censorship, remove the entire word, have a human rewrite the article so that it aligns with your personal agenda, or delete the whole thing. Replacing characters with asterisks is nothing more than an attempt to be politically correct without really doing what you're pretending to do - "Look! We really care about eliminating bad words. See?" Sorry, Chris. Not making fun of you. Making fun of the Interwebs. :) [edit] Just noticed that the post above has been automatically deleted for violating the Naughty Words rule. I suspect this one will suffer the same fate, even though it's making a point about said Naughty Words rule. Oh, well. At least it meets one of the criteria on my list. [/edit]

Only time I've ever had to tell an IT guy my password because of some problem it had a swear word in it too. I assume that this is covered by Sod's Law, either that or it is just computers being bastards.
“I believe that there is an equality to all humanity. We all suck.” Bill Hicks
or that he had prior access to the Password and knew you had used naughty words and thought "I will get him"
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

By the way, nice Les Paul. I jump up and down a lot and was afraid I'd dislocate my shoulder wielding one of those things, so I took to hot rodding Strats instead. But nothing sounds like the real thing!

Thanks! The weight doesn't bother me, I use a wide leather strap and that distributed the weight pretty well. Can't knock the Strats, I have one of those as well there is nothing like the the clean tones of the middle and bridge PUPs on a Strat. And to give by back a rest (if it needs it...) I have nice lightweight ash 52 RI Tele that I love to rip in to.

Why do US television and radio stations censor swear words with a *beep*? It's not like you couldn't instantly translate them in your heads to actual words? ;)

Couldn't agree more! It's Samuel Jackson. It's not like I have to read his lips to know what word he's saying. :-D

In the mid 90s I bought a new Les Paul Studio, thinking I'd use it to record with and perhaps on gigs since it's lighter. I've probably played it ten times. It just never really grabbed me. Half the price of a full on Les Paul and really not a bad guitar, but I think it's the lighter wood and slightly thinner body that makes the tone pale in comparison. I really need to get around to selling it, as I'd like to pick up a good full humbucker solid body to gig with alongside the Strats. There's so much to choose from. Back in the day, the only real stuff out there was Fender and Gibson. Now there are just too many good guitars to choose from. I like the PRS, having played a couple of friends' but they're very proud of their product. Also want to add a Tele someday. Beyond being a big Who / Townsend fan, was listening to Brothers in Arms the other day and was reminded of what good tones Mark Knopfler always gets. Too many guitars to buy! :-D

:laugh: I get G.A.S.* a lot, the only known cure is not having enough money to buy more guitars. I know what you mean about the LP studios, I also bought one and just can't bond with it. The action is great, plays nice, and sounds OK but the other one is perfectly comfortable, it's an extension of my hands. *(Guitar Aquisition Syndrome)

Yeah, I'm a card carrying member of G.A.A. (Gear Acquirers Anonymous). Wanna buy 10,000 watts of stage lighting from my previous lighting rig? :rolleyes: It's a great time to be a creative creature, ain't it?
