You know which ones really get me on edge? The ones about video converters and shoe sales.

Febus was a much loved PA member who passed away recently, and I believe they leave that there as a tribute to his favorite thread.

Thank you for enlighten me! Now I understand the purpose of the thread! Embarrassed Only one thing still puzzles me: I do not know what "Febus Mark VI" means. Can someone help?

I wish I had beautiful Amon Duul II vinyls to show off too... Cry

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Firstly, I didn't see any thread as of his I understand as stating what you say.
Secondly, if that's so then close the friggin' thread. What is this, a trap?

If you attack those threads whose length shows their appeal to many, many PA users, don't you think the problem lies with you instead of with those others?


He misunderstood the nature of the thread, now he understands and appreciates. He asked a question, he got an answer. Move along, nothing to see here...

What, indeed, is the purpose of ANY thread on the Intartubez?

^ That's it - that's why the thread is popular and some say, even useful.

 
It's like a silent radio station where you don;t have to listen to every track they play, but if you see one that interests you or you haven't played for a while then you go and play it or spotify it.
 
 
What?

Yes and you even inspired me to dig it out ... almost ... except that I went and had a look at the Febus thread first (it's not normally one I look at) and came across an album by Upsilon Acrux.  I was sufficiently intrigued both by the cover and the name of the band to explore further.  I found an album called Galapagos Momentum on Spotify which I rather enjoyed and is now on my wishlist!

OK - now I'll play School of Language!

Of course the initial post question does make the mistake of assuming that threads have any purpose in the first place.

I always start threads for the sole purpose of annoying people. Evil Smile

v v v I think we've pretty much reached a consensus amongst those of us who have commented on that thread in this one. LOL

Hey, it's about posting album cover art and making quick comments about what you are listening to.  Actually one of my favorite threads.  It's also fun if you coincidentally are listening to something someone else is or going "hey, I haven't listened to that one in a while, gonna whip it out".
