3. Big Poppa should not have to disable his PM function. it is HIS forum

Well stated sir.

Do you still want the hot stock tips? I get about 6 spams a day for these and I thought I would forward them to your PM box.

I know I know... I'm insane... blah blah blah

Hey I got an idea! How about I keep my thoughts to my damn self?
Oh that's just a funny contradictory statement right there.

Hey Beth. That funny thing you told me at NAMM. I told you that would be the funniest thing I would hear all month. Turns out it will be the funniest thing I will hear for the first quarter of '07. I'm gonna right a whole skit around that.
Oh and best of luck to you with that by the way.

When will the wipes be available?

Jacko,
The switch tip drawer was empty comment was pretty funny.

Has anyone heard from kbaim lately? I'll give him a call and make sure he's OK. After I find out I'll PM everyone and let y'all know.

So I was playing my 20th last night with the piezo running to a separate amp. Man o man is the DI box necessary to eliminate the hum. Even when I keep everything clean. When I go to a high gain setting on my amp for the mags the piezo being plugged in really makes a lot of noise. Deity bless my DI box.

Who here likes cheese on a burger?

If I may be so bold poppa,

From the look of the framework of the Forum it's running on VBulletin..... if it's a reasonably recent version your tech staff should be able to integrate a spam filter type code to your PM box.

Thus allowing you to continue to use the PM function but filtering out those unwanted PM's....

It's been a while since I've worked with VBulletin but we had something rigged up internally at my company- if you want to get your guys to PM me (no pun intended) I'm pretty sure I could talk the through it.

I only suggest it as conventional methods of you asking don't seem to be cutting it, and whilst you have the Koogies of this board in your corner, there will always be those who feel the rules do not apply.

Smelly.

im just keeping it full and deleng one when I need to send one. I cant believe that even with my signature that I have to do this. Oh well...Perspective tells me that the overly passionate mm fans can get blinded by their issues and then justify filling my pms on the weekend.

Why don't you set it so that only people over a certain post count can PM you? Probably filter out all the trivial newb stuff.

I'm sure there's some way to do that.

It's true ... tragically it's a good problem to have. (That business is good, you have passionate customers and you're readily accessible.)

I've been lurking on here for a while now and it definately seems to me that BP is just a little too much of a prima-donna whiner.

Greent,

That's not very nice. He's the owner of the company and we all respect him. If you don't have anything nice to say, why do you say anything at all?

So you think that's an unreasonable request?

An owner of a company sets up a global distribution network, runs a diverse business, with a customer service framework dealing with amongst other things answering an array of questions about their products. He also engages in charitable events raising millions for worthwhile causes. Did I say that he spends his time dealing with an assortment of questions from forum members, encourages his endorsed artists to participate on the forum. Invites people to events paid for out of his own generosity.

He requests that we don't abuse the PM facility because his team can deal with queries either in writing, by phone or via this forum.

Prima donna whiner - I don't think so.

I would normally welcome new entrants to the forum but in your case I'll pass.

Prob'ly someone who didn't know who BP was, but still totally lame to name-call!

Got to love the Internet ... gives people the courage to say things they wouldn't have the balls to say to somebody's face ...

I dunno Beej, if greent has been lurking for "some time" I'm sure he knows full well who BP is.

If he doesn't let me spell it out for him

BP is Sterling Ball.

Sterling Ball is CEO of Ernie Ball.

Welcome to the forum. (It takes all kinds and I am one of them)
What Balls do You have? (pun is so intentional)
Which one do you like best? (again intentional)
Where have you been lurking from? (obvious bait)

BP does have pretty thick skin but in the future you might want to consider expressing personal opinions about character personally via private messages.
Oh that's just super funny!!
Some folks here might not want to read that.

It is really funny to see what motivates a self admitted lurker to dive in and post. Im glad that my whining is interesting enough to keep greent coming back. Greent, Please dont PM me.

You pal

To greent:

Wow, what a wonderful, clever first post you made. Congratulations!!
It definitely seems to me that you are just a little too much of a JERK!!!!:mad:
Haha....take that!!!!

What should BP do? That's hard to say, maybe go public with the names, maybe a "two or three strikes and you're out rule"? I don't know.
It's very strange to me that some people send him messages when it's asked that they do not send any in BIG letters in his signature. :confused:

Hey Boss, look at the bright side.

At least he didn't PM you to give you this deep analysis of your personality.
