He got some slack in a previous thread for having pink lamberts on all the photos of his machines and
I thought that's what he was referring to when he commented about the pink cylinders.
That's why I suggested he do it out of spite - nothing to do with your post.

I was the one who made the comment - it was a joke and I thought Ronnie knew it. Instead he got angry and took his toys from the sandbox. I realize humor is hard to detect sometimes, but I wasn't being "mean" at all.

As Annette Hanshaw said many times "that's all"

I thought that was Bugs Bunny?

Again, nothing personal, my definition of slack (not necessarily mean) --> http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... =2&t=20504
And I thought it was all in good humor as well, that's why I made a joke about it here.

Sean, I didn't get mad. I was also joking around. If I get mad, I just don't respond.

Have you darkened it yet? because in that picture it looks pretty good the way it is.

I would've loaded it with pink cylinders out of spite. ;)
After I saw it in person, there is no way I would touch it. It is darker than the pictures and looks great. They should come with instructions on how to get into the cylinder part?
