Where has there been any mention of you in this thread?

There is the obvious option of ignoring threads that feature the NG'd setup, and until now I have. It's increasing and, I think, lowering the overall standard of the forum. It's clearly not a life threatening issue, but it is fucking annoying. There's a reason I don't read other guitar forums (with the exception of the occasional browse of offset) and I'd rather not find those reasons on the one forum I do read.

I'll go back to the actual thread rather than just the title, and sorry to bring that all on you. The discount thing is interesting for sure. I've heard of a few of these lately and it's worth looking into the small print to see if some extraordinary deals can be had - 20% off an otherwise reasonably priced vintage Fender is too good to ignore.

Nice pedal.

Indeed. In fact, let's take a moment to reflect and appreciate those thread titles that have been positively dripping with creativity, such as My First Shortscale, which have thankfully restored the artistic equilibrium.

Just kidding; sort of.
