I can't even begin to figure out how this conversation has turned the way it has but I can tell you that this site is the largest repository of mandolin information in the world. To ignore the older posts on a subject is akin to going to the library and simply reading the periodicals and not going through the reference section. I have no idea who this is aimed at but there's some serious misconceptions being put forward in some of these posts. If a link to a past discussion is posted there is no reason that a discussion can't continue but it seems a little short sighted to simply dismiss the old discussions as stale information. Do we have to reinvent the wheel for every thing we do? That seems a waste of time. There is always room for new thought but that doesn't mean you throw away the old knowledge.
