So...who are you and where are you from?

[CFHinLA]

Thought it would be cool to introduce ourselves. We are all here because we want to be here and I think we are all like-minded. Only give out the info youre comfortable sharing....guess I'll start.

name: Scott N
age: 37
location: So Cal, USA
status: Married 3 kids
occupation: police officer
hobbies: shooting, guitars and computer games

personal statement: Hi guys, I guess I'm here for the reasons the rest of you are. I want to actually hear music as it was intended to be heard. I'm a firearms instructor for my police dept certified in pistol, sub-machine gun, shotgun and tactical rifle. If youre ever in So Cal, come by and we will blow some stuff up at the range. My goal with this is to make a diffrence. Not especially change the world but just make a diffrence.

Yeah, I'll second that notion.

Like Scott said, not hoping to change the world, but if I can do something to correct the travesty that brought us here, or prevent the next one, all the better.

location: Cork, Ireland
occupation: Network Engineer, System Administrator
hobbies: computers, technology, music and playing metal/rock-based guitar

Ive listened to metallica, nirvana, pearl jam, smashing pumpkins since about 1993.Over time I've become increasingly annoyed of the hypocrisy evident in the music industry. Record companies complaining about piracy and copyrights, and insisting on buying the physical CD etc, in conjunction with the ever decreasing quality of those very things - The recording of music is slowly but surely loosing its artistic skill and individuality - its now one single production line

Personal Statement: I just can't believe what's happening with Death Magnetic, and all these 'loudness wars'.

Hello everyone... and please excuse me for my English.
