I used to hang out here all the time around 98-01.
Is the group still active?
What's happened to all the old regulars? It used to be Phildo, Shaun Wexler and a few others - names I don't seem to be seeing now I've had a peek back in.
Anyone from back in those days still around?
Anyone know what folks are up to that left?

Anyway - hi! :)

Most of the regulars have stopped posting with the exception of Phil Alison and some others. Lord Valve makes an occasional appearance. I think most folks have gone off to moderated forums where they suffer reduced abuse. Phildo's no-nothingness and abuse coupled with George Gleason's often abusive tirades & superiority complex drove most people off. Phil A. is still a prick, but his technical knowledge is impeccable. I'm sure Arny is lurking out there too.

A few of us still check in every once in a while. It isn't what it used
to be. Oddly enough, I still keep in touch with Phildo & George through
facebook. George has hired me to work a number of festivals when he
needs someone he can count on. But George recently cancelled a festival
on me 5 days after I bought a non-refundable plane ticket. He promised
to reimburse me.

I still look in periodically, I'm retired now but still keep my hand in.
I never was one of the 'big boys'.
George is a different man since he found love in his life, Phildo has a
nice residency job. I kinda miss Arni in an odd way.

Most of the old guard are on facebook if you look hard enough, most
keep themselves to themselves' Maybe we should form a facebook aapls club ;)

We had fun, but I think usenet has had its day

BTW, I have two Tee-shirts that George gave out for free ... A.A.P.L.S
... Great Men Of Of Audio Science - M.D.S.T. - "Million Dollar Snob
Team" ... Many of these people would bust the asses of anyone who
mentioned Peavey, Mackie or Behringer. George now rents out much Mackie
& Behringer. Go figure .... :-)

It used to be Phildo,
** Phildo killed a 6 year old boy AND his father on a motorway, in broad
daylight.

First thing WE knew, the stinking cunt was here asking for sympathy cos the
UK police charged him with manslaughter.

In one post, he said he wanted to sue the distraught mother and widow for
causing HIM emotional distress.

Not one person here challenged him over it - except me.

And did I cop a whole lotta shit for that.

** A few, like Dave Andrews and Andre Huisman left in embarrassment.

Pretty much only other, decent folk to ever post here.

Live sound engineers are the scum of the fucking planet.


Have a nice day, you stinking IDIOT !!!!!!!!




.... Phil
