That happens when 1. The other side is too dumb to understand what they are talking about or 2. I suspect the other side is lying. I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to ignorance but have scant patience with liars. Either way, when it gets to this point I can't agree to disagree. Time to tune them out and move on.

I agree. I would add 3. When the other person keeps coming back, in thread after thread, with essentially the same claim although it has been refuted several times before.

When do you ever ask yourself such searching questions without bothering other people with them?

Are you a "government analyst" for an intelligence agency, or just a commercial data collector helping to enslave us all in some panopticon "paradise"?

Autumn is a-comin' in, and @Stees is ready to rock out.

What's the name of your backup band?

Hahah.

Also: I'm not a guitarist. What kind of sustain or tone does a spruce-bodied guitar generally have?

"As free as the Swedes go" -- I remember that song, and we might even have had the sheet-music for that back in the 1970s, when I was young.
