Being a mod on AA has nothing to do with my participation on AS or any of the other half dozen forums I regularly visit and post on. I'm just a member here like everyone else. I am not carrying any baggage nor do I wish to have any dumped on me. I have vicariously participated in AudioShark from the beginning and simply decided to join the fun. BTW, Double-D is a nickname I have had most of my life. It is an acronym of my first and last name. Most likely that isn't what you thought. A couple of my close friends haven't called me by my real name in 30 years. I think it makes a refreshing change. Take it for whatever you think it is worth.

Dan- I'm just having fun- I am serious as heart attack about audio, so that makes two of us. Thanks to the power of the internet I know your real name and I didn't immediately connect it with a bra size.

Still, I know that must have crossed your mind in the user name picking directorate.

Good to know that you have noble intentions, I had no ulterior motive - Those were just the questions I wanted to ask. I apologize if my snark and sarcasm didn't meet it's mark.

Also, I've had the pleasure of chatting with Mike. As you already know, he's top drawer. What a great guy, knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. Win/Win

Mike, if I hit another jackpot, I just might locate you a pair of 2301s

Both Dan and Mike are some of the biggest fans of Music & Audio Gear. They follow the cavalrymen's credo of "Ride fast, shoot straight and speak the truth." The best advice I have ever received in the last 7ish years is reading their posts or general interactions across the internet. I think this all started on Audiokarma and spread to AudioAficionado and AudioShark. The more the merrier and I hope we all stay connected and share the latest gear or better subjective or objective ways to enjoy music.

Best,
Bill

I found it odd that the usual new user - Welcome thread got so long so I decided to plow thru it again.

Now I realize who Double-D is. Dan, good to see you here. You helped me out a bunch over at that other site before I was banned under a different name.

Brian.......Thank you. I remember many conversations with you. Good to see you chime in. To me, yesterday's news is ancient history. I'm more of a "be here now" kind of guy. This forum has matured over the past two years and offers a great group of members to converse with, a wealth of audio knowledge, and many other unique insights. Being able to participate rather than be an outsider took me a while. I had to feel comfortable enough to believe my presence here would represent a positive contribution to the forum. So far it has been good.

**Shadowfax** · May 5, 2015, 02:50 PM

Dan, you are always a positive influence and we are all glad you are here.

Dan, I want to reiterate what others have said. We are glad you're here!
Whether or not you participate, or even moderate at another forum is irrelative.

A big +1...

Mark.......

Mike.......

Thank you both. I'll admit I was a bit nervous on day one but I'm feeling fine now. Much appreciated.

This thread is turning into a Introduce Yourself Marathon. .

Dan...your reputation proceeds you. You are one heck of a kewl dude! If we all were in the same town/city or even state. There would be a part happen'n!

**Steve** · May 5, 2015, 11:52 PM

So Dan...Just to confirm Double-D is simply an acronym of your name and has nothing to do with hot dogs!

I was blown away when I read that story about the dude's memoir, so to speak.

Hilarious!

Steve.......My first and last names begin with the letter D, hence Double-D. Like I mentioned earlier I have a few friends who haven't called me Dan in 30 years. To them I am Double-D and always will be. There must be something to it. I respond when they call me.

What you have been reading doesn't have anything to do with me, at least I don't think it does.

**Steve** · May 6, 2015, 12:23 AM

Dan...What I was reading came across as an amusing analogy to your chosen username. Indeed the person Double-D in the story was also nicknamed by his friends but for a very different reason. If you were endowed with his condition, I suppose you would have been nicknamed Double-DD.

Steve.......I think the light is finally coming on.

I'd like to note that is it because of Dan that I purchased a McIntosh C1000, MCD1100 and a few other gadgets. I'm a afraid of what to ask Dan that I should buy next... Speakers is on my list.
