Yeah, see, unfortunately, most of us south of the comics board are actually somewhat sane. For example, I have an ATI board right now, but were you to mock me for it, I would shrug and mumble something about the $40 rebate that was available at the time.

MrBlu:
Feh, I'm cheap and broke. So I want a 4850.

I'm feeling you. I was still in college when I put together my current rig, so it wasn't exactly time to spring for the 8800 GTX, ya know? The previously mentioned $40 rebate was basically used to purchase my weight in bulk ramen.

Back to the topic...

More on the MF thread. Although I love the fact that I can get all those Joni Mitchell albums for free, I've noticed in the past that getting an entire discography at once - bugger any moral concerns - simply is not good listening practice. Along with the moral qualms I do feel at not having to invest at all in a particular artist to hear all of their music, I'm a bit leery at the current practices evident in the thread, though I support the existence of the thread as a concept as well as the mixing of genres in it.

I might suggest the following rule: one album per post, or one album per artist per poster per page. That is to say, one person can post one album by a particular artist per page. This cuts down on the "dump" aspect of the thread, as well as encourages posters to say more about what they are contributing. Forbidding the use of allmusic reviews might be going too far, but I feel like when someone talks about an album in their own words, it encourages more discussion than when they don't.

Man, that's one reason I'm going to Culinary school. I hope to avoid having to stock on ramen.
