There seem to be people who post topics which have only little or nothing to
do with the real purpose of this newsgroup, like "FM radio antenna height"
and "what soundcard's the best for playing games and making music". These
kind of topics should be posted somewhere else, they have nothing to do with
professional audio.
Please try to avoid posting these kind of topics here, that just distracts
the users when they're trying to find an interesting, informative topic
which has something to do professional audio.
Here's a link which should clarify when to use r.a.p. Sorry for the
negative-sounding post.

Also, some questions would be best directed to alt.music.4-track.

Your link wasn't working, at least for me. The rec.audio.pro FAQ can also
be found at the official site :

Sadly, the people to whom this message applies will never read it. If they
would or could, they wouldn't post that stuff here anyway!

Man, Roger! I can't believe you forgot the 4 man scramble or at the least a
proposal for a Monster Ramps tv series.............sheesh, drink some coffee.

I'd like to protest those who post messages denigrating those who post
messages outside the dogmatic requirements of any newsgroup. Seeing and
reading these posts not only causes me considerable consternation, but
wastes my precious time as well.
And God know, I don't want to waste ANY precious time with my reading and
enjoying the posts on RAP.

Billy, why then waste precious time replying to this waste of time?
Seeing and reading this kind of message which denigrates those who try to
keep topics
somewhere near professional audio, well, doesn't exactly waste my precious
time but makes me
wonder how differently people react..

from the conversation at hand. Useful skill, that."
Good point, that's true. Still, taking the figure-of-speech a bit further,
it is still much more meaningful and informative to listen to a person in a
quiet room than near a space shuttle launch pad eh..

Hey Tommi, I was just being sarcastic. There really are some crazy posts to
wade through but to me that's all part of the fun. I waste PLENTY of time
reading posts that have nothing to do with recreation.audio.professional.or
production. I find them humorous, annoying and sometimes insightful and
whether I like it or not, I'm drawn to some of the threads like a moth to
light. Look at how the political threads take off in this group.
I guess I see it as a community, sometimes with visitors from far off lands
passing through and in the end, I've learned a ton from just about
everything I've read here.
Didn't mean to offend.

Sorry Billy, Ijust wasn't sure! Must be because english isn't my first
language, so the subtleties go unnoticed in some sentences..I agree,
sometimes it's enjoyable to read some of the weird posts! But when I'm
having a bad day some of the "serious" off-topic stuff here just makes me
wonder why someone's asking rap about editing your FM radio presets in your
car..or something.

No worries, and by the way, what's the VERY BEST microphone for under $200?
