    :dont: You cannot create a Lounge discussion thread and then declare it is closed whenever you feel like it. This is not how the forum works. You're certainly welcome to stop participating in discussion threads and reset your notice alerts as such anytime you choose, but that is all.

    Foster's modus operandi when the troll-thread dies. At least ask the mods to close it like you did last time. That's some nerve, bossing the forum :rofl:

    How you're still here along your other @Incontro account is beyond me

    The history of sound recording is inextricably linked to the inventor Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931). In 1877, the American had the idea for his device, later known as the phonograph, which made it possible to repeat a recorded acoustic event at will. Edison called his invention the “Speaking Machine”.

    Not to be purposely facetious but why is it that the forum is set to not allow users control of their own content? We can't delete our posts either so we have to report them to the admins to delete them which makes your job even more difficult. Just wondering is all, no offence intended.

    None taken! Apart from self-deleting comments full stop, generally speaking, users do have full control over their content. The problem is, sometimes people abuse the editing feature in various ways, as you can imagine, creating confusing messes by breaking the hierarchy of thread comments. If everyone is editing, deleting, closing etc., many threads simply wont make any sense to other members and outside readers just coming in, sometimes years after the fact. Hope that answers your question.

    Someone had to say the name everyone avoids...
    He starts an ambiguous thread then can go anywhere from 'I hate jazz' - to 'Musicians can't read notes' - to musicians can't do anything with notes'... Then go off on a completely different tangent. He is a true trolling master of hijacking his own thread, without one single fabric of documented proof for his nonsensical theories. While it was novel for a first time viewer, people who have seen it happen for over five years want to run and hide.

    Fortunately in this topic "The benefits of older computers", he tends to stay away from this kind of topic. I hope that answers your question :)
