You know what'd be cool?

Being able to put music on our profiles here ala myspace profiles. I don't know about you, but when I read my profile - I hear my theme music in the background. :cool: (And no, it's not Dueling Banjos"). It'd be great to actually have that acoustical experience available for other folks who are lucky enough to read my profile as well. :mrgreen: :roll:

Now I know this only creates a lot more work for Josh, takes up a lot more bandwidth and opens him up to angry artists when folks start using unauthorized uploads on their profiles....but it would be cool.

Hey Tim . . . I rarely disagree with you, but one of the things I find most annoying is opening up someone's MySpace page and hearing some blasted crappy music.

Adding music would just be asking for headaches galore for me and many others.

I'm not willing to have others suffer for your Deliverance moment ;)

That and . . . it just doesn't work, IMO. Regardless, I love the enthusiasm and look forward to good ideas and bad (this one) :mrgreen: from everyone (except Tim).

Lol.... Did I just get served in an investing forum?

That's alright. I'll just hum the Aaron Copland when I open my profile.

Thank you for not willing to allow background music.

It's bad enough having to listen to bad music while I'm put on hold during phone call. So, I'd rather not listen to music I may not like during the page.

True, I can always mute my button but then I wouldn't hear Skype calling.

Why not just integrate online dating features while we're at it, Tim. Perhaps a list of canned questions to select from so we can send one to a hottie. For example, a woman catches your eye in a 50% rule thread - she's located right between MikeOH and Will arguing - and you randomly send her:

"If you were a super hero what would your super power be?"

You opened yourself up to it . . . :wink: You can't talk about Deliverance without getting schooled . . . just a simple fact.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. One of the great parts about meeting women in the investment arena - your dating life becomes a tax write-off. :mrgreen:

Speaking of which....a pleasure to meet you Alicie. I'm very glad to see the scenery around here get just a bit more charming.

Matty, there is a great distance between OH and me. Hopefully someone else can pick up the slack.

:cool: Wouldn't recommend swimming this time of year, but then again I was just in Tampa and it was too cold for beaches there too.
