Hoo, boy. Clearly, I've been thoroughly vanquished by the master. Not only that, but I just found out that, unbeknownst to me, I'm functioning as John Swenson's advocate and that some clever thief has come in, taken both my money and, after Arny's thorough pummeling of it, what's left of my now sadly diminished ego and used both to invest in Uptone Audio's business (which I'm sure will be great news to them!)--a business which I had no idea even existed until about 10 days ago.
