OK, here's the deal.

This post from the very beginning was always a "music4321" thread. No one cares about the K3003 anymore. There are many other impressions of the K3003 on HF. Everyone knows you are obsessed with the K3003. This thread was nothing but bait for future drama. And the sad thing is that you knew it, but you could not resist posting it.

Perhaps you did have something worthwhile to contribute with your comparison to the UERM (the relative weaknesses of the UERM to the K3003 you mentioned, I actually concur with; although I find much more fault with the K3003 weaknesses).

I truly do enjoy reading your insights and observations. However I do not enjoy your antics. How you bait people with your "woe is me" techniques to get attention. As a parent, this is the kind of manipulative behavior that I do not accept from my kids. I patiently train them not to do it.

Now that things have descended into back and forth "neener neener neener", it's time for me to end this once and for all.

Let me give you some unsolicited advice: At any point in time, you can always make a decision which direction you want to go. I understand that people are not perfect and habitual tendencies are hard to break. But I think you've had plenty of opportunities in this thread (and on this forum) to adjust course. Remember that other people don't make you feel mad, other people don't makes you feel slighted, other people don't make you feel unnoticed, other people don't make you feel insignificant, other people don't make you feel unappreciated. You are the one who makes you feel all those things. Time to own up and take responsibility for that. And know that in the end, we are really aren't that significant at all. Easy to realize we are just dust motes when we look up at the night sky. This evening, go outside, pull up a chair, put on your favorite IEMs, and just look at the stars.
