Well, I always do jump in on discussions about carbon fiber guitars, and especially CA guitars. However, in this case, I have read references to this particular post, but never saw it (and don't really care to). All I can say is that I think it has more impact than it might have if it were left for all to see. I think MacNichol is doing a wonderful thing with the forum, the road trips, and in general supporting the whole carbon fiber thing in unique and innovative ways, so I am sure Michael had his reasons for removing it.

When I was a kid in Junior High, my older brother bought a Rolling Stones album that had just come out, called "Between The Buttons". It had a song on it called "Let's Spend the Night Together". It really was kind of a dumb tune that we would all have ignored, since it wasn't why people were buying the album anyway. But my Dad made a big deal out of the tune in the "name of decency". He whipped out his pocket knife, held up the album, and scratched up just that one track so we couldn't play it. Now, we HAD to hear that tune, so we went over to friends' houses to listen to it, which in turn generated their interest in it - the opposite effect that my Dad intended.

On the CF forum, people have posted and asked if anybody can PM them the removed post. It reminds me of my brother's Stones album.
