Hey Rob,
I think an informal thread about the trials and tribulations of us collectors is a cool idea. I'm sure there are plenty of problems that we all share that are both tv related and just plain "shit happens"

stuff, that other forum members might enjoy hearing about, and perhaps replying to with advice or their own similar stories. ie: I replied in the middle of the recent Admiral postings about our families first tv. It wasn't a technical reply but kinda related to the subject. I appreciate John's plight. There hasn't been any new posting in the color tv thread for a while and I miss the exchanges.
