These rules originally appeared in my quick psuedo-bio and introduction to this web site. You can read that by clicking here. From now on, when I want to make changes to "The Rulez" (See #15) I will make those edits here. I also have taken the time to write up a Privacy Statement.
I will do as a please because this is my web site. Certainly nothing illegal, Big Brother, just good old rugged individualism.
If you want to do as you please, get YOUR OWN web site.
Sometimes certain things on this web site will not function properly. It will inevitably piss me off. I will endeavor to correct such errors as they occur.
I will take political positions that you will probably disagree with.
I will post links to things on the web that I like. You can submit things if you like, but I am in no way obligated to post nor read your submissions. (See #2)
I will occassionally offend someone. (See #7)
You will occassionally offend me. (See #8)
We have NO RIGHT to not be offended. . . it is part of life; deal with it. (See #6)
I will post songs that I have written and shamelessly ask you to listen to them.
I will write strange poetry when the mood strikes me. (See #6)
I will brag about how much smarter my kids are than yours. (And, they are 'cause they're MY kids.)
I will occassionally threaten to turn my wife loose in here. (Actually, she lurks around here often... sometimes she actually surprises me with a blog entry or something.)
Some anarchist hackers will probably attack my server just because they can. (See #3)
I will occassionally offend someone. (Did I say that already? See #16)
I make the rules here and will change them as I see fit. (See #1)
Sometimes I repeat myself. (See #16)
I will use the flip-off Smiley as often as I please and without hesitation. (See #6)

Frequency Response
A graph which shows how a system or piece of equipment or even an environment such as a room responds to different frequencies. Ideally, for audio work the graph should plot a flat line from below 20 Hz to above 20 kHz. In practise this is often not achieved, and the line will fluctuate up and down between these points, indicating that the equipment or environment makes some frequencies louder or quieter than others. Humans have a well documented "non-flat" response and this is the response used to specify the dB(A) scale for determining loudness. The term should not be confused with bandwidth which concerns itself only with the attenuation above an upper limit frequency and below a lower limit frequency and does not concern itself with the range between them.
