Actually...12..6 more to tell ya its not a light bulb that you changed..just some annoying bright thing!
Plus however many users would have pointed out that the way others change light bulbs should only be a starting point, that changing a light bulb is all in the fingers and hands, and each of us has to find out which way works best for us at the end of the day.
Cheers,

Boo hoo being our best argument
Actually thought it was funny at first, but it is getting redundant (Or Redumnent as Jake Harper would say!!!)
My boo hoo was in reference to your crying about the thread.
I mean, this is just a topical joke that keeps writing itself and here you are whining about it.
Maybe I should make the answer 21 and add another to come in and state that the light bulb is pointless and redundant.......
Hey, we can't all be comic geniuses like me! lol

No problem Octo, just havin a little fun at your expense - I only noticed the chorus thing, cuz of this thread.
http://line6.com/community/message/248671#248671
I did a search and found several others dating back to x-mas of last year... but I see your aggravation, just look @ how many people are wanting a gig bag. Yes, people need to use the search feature, but Google works much better, as this one seems to default to "Documents", and I'm guessing few click the "more options" link to access "Discussions".
This forum could sure use a few stickies, if you ask me, but you didn't, so that's just my opinion at this point

Sorry for my hosility, a lot of spurious claims being made about certain users of late so I got marginally defensive there.
I did actually see that thread when I did my search but it didn't match my symptoms hence why I did my thread.
What I find is that rather than hit enter in the search box, if you leave your entry open, then a list of actual related threads show up first but like the folks who don't use "more options", they may not be aware that even happens.
Indeed, the gig bag question is only one of the few FAQ's that could be added or like you say, at very least stickied.

It's all good... this forum has been pretty active (to put it mildly) since everyone got an HD for x-mas, or at tax-time (like I did). I just tried the search box thing - there is quite a delay (not instant, like Google), before it actually pops up, and that may be why myself and others were not aware of it. I still prefer the "more options" approach though - larger preview of related posts.
As more people become familiar with the HD, and more tips and tricks become "common knowledge", I think the animosity will settle down. For now the only advice I could give anyone on this forum, would be to exercise some patience, and probably do some moderate research, prior to replying to certain topics, especially ones that fall into the category of "new territory".
Personally, a copy of my manual is always open, when experimenting with my HD. I'm seriously thinking about printing it out, so I can "dog ear" and highlight stuff

If I was a cynical kind of person and given some more recent topics, I would suggest that certain folks are "extracting the urine" and posting certain common topics (possibly under different user names) in order to rile up other folks and potentially goad them into some kind of confrontation.
However, I'm not cynical and I fear that too many people just don't make any attempts to check stuff out before they post something and well, while it would make for a tidier forum that was easier to manouver, having repeated topics is certainly not the worst thing in the world.
As for the manual, I printed off a copy a couple of weeks ago and stuck it in a ring binder.
I now know why they didn't bother providing a copy with each device. It's HUGE. heh.

I don't know about the user name thing, sounds kinda childish really... but anything is possible in a discussion forum (especially one full of guitar players).
Yeah, 103 pages is a lot... dialed down to a flip-book, prolly wouldn't be as big, but look at the printing cost they saved! I think most people opt to download manuals anymore anyway... they're easier to find, when you really need it...
Personally, I'm done with confrontation, I'm sure there will be a few "late to the party", that will have their 2 cents to a post or two, and they can have it... knee-jerk reactions have a way of high-jacking threads, and some people tend to gravitate to that - whether out of boredom, or self gratification - who knows? I don't and I don't care... guess that kinda makes me cynical, but oh well, nothing a fresh batch "new posts" won't cure
I like finding out new things that my HD will do - like the loop boost, volume assignment, and dry s/pdif... things realized by other people through questions, not by me while noodling.

Well sadly there does seem to be a lot of childish folks who post on the forum and some I can let slide, others are just too puerile to let pass without commenting.
The version I printed was something like 180 pages! It had a lot more info than the revised versions so it's all good.
I don't outwardly seek confrontation, not in my everyday life and particularly not on internet forums, but with the same token I will stand my ground if need be.
The forum is most definitely a great tool for getting the most out of the HD's and thats why I keep coming back. I wouldn't have learned half as much about the HD's without the forums.

For someone who recently criticized another forum member of clogging this support forum with topics that don’t pertain to HD tech support, I find this thread a bit hypocritical. Just sayin...
Clogging up this support forum with off topics is one thing.
However this thread has form and function in as much that anyone who takes time to read it will get the message that it's wise to do a search prior to posting a new topic. And they might even have a chuckle along the way.
I chose to use a bit of panache/use humour to convey the message than be whiney/snarky as too much of that goes on already.
And sorry but ending your post with "Just sayin..." really didn't help your cause.

... Just listen to your favorite CD both ways... totally different spectrum of sound... left and right is more visible, delay trails on longer and even present where it wasn't even noticeable before, or here's my favorite... John Bonham's Speed King squeaking on various Zep tracks... classic example of "wtf? wow! really?"...
I remember that, Physical Graffiti was one of first CD's I got and I remember thinking what is that noise, oh wow, that is the bass pedal squeaking.
My first set was a 1971 Ludwig, with all the original hardware and stands... one of the first songs I learned to play was "The Immigrant Song". That squeaking drove me nuts, then a friend of mine queued me into the trivia... I never doubted that worn out floppy Speed King again

Maybe its not in the same catagory...maybe it is...truthfully....they could have looked at each other and said we'll call it art if anyone complains. Reminds me of some of the crap I made in art class. Once it got outta hand enough...I simply looked and said...thats abstract...yes thats what it is!
Well I thought about that too, but figured if they wanted to edited or mixed the cough and sniff out, they could have, but didn't...... heh.
After listening to the song so many times, I think it would be odd if it wasn't there now. It's as much a part of the song as the solo it preceeds imo.

Octo,
Thanks for the manual, giving a read now ;-)
amgamg,
I think I'm with everyone else on the Pink Floyd thing - they did a lot of crazy stuff, quite deliberately, while everyone else, just left stuff in, because it gave it character (a vibe so to speak). Waters and Gilmore strived on the abstract and unconventional - with one rumored recording to have occurred on the toilet, because one of them was too whacked out to function otherwise. (From what I recall, it was Roger Waters, with a handheld recorder, while taking a dump). Now that's some crazy s***!!!
markbrid,
Impressive list!!! I'm going to have to Google the moaning - sounds hilarious!!!
Xsample33 and timowens,
I think it's safe to say that this thread has become useful, now if the OP can get with the program, we'll be all OK... (just kiddin' Octo
, tell me you didn't laugh, I dare ya)Karl,
I think we're all guilty of that - guitar players aren't known for lengthy relationships
