Topic: In-Ear-Monitor Taping

Real love is the only thing I know
It changes everything it touches
It gets you in it's gentle clutches
But that's not really the heart of the matter

Everbody, every now and then
We'll say that they can use
Some solitude
Even though you've said it kinda rude
That's not really the heart of the matter

I think that really the heart of the matter
Isn't that you're going away to think and be alone
I think you feel
Your love for me is gone
I think that's really the heart of the matter after all

Darling, I know every now and then
some nights I lay real easy on your mind
You might hold your pillow you might cry
That's not really the heart of the matter

I think that really the heart of the matter
Isn't that you're going away to think and be alone
I think you feel
Your love for me is gone
I think that's really the heart of the matter after all

Yes I thinks that's really the heart of the matter
After all

that there deserves a beer

Sammy, where's Cliff?

[Genghis Cougar Mellen Khan]

Out of curiosity, when you go to the post office do you always walk up the steps or do you sometimes walk up the ramp that was put there for those who unfortunately have to use a wheel chair to get around? Just askin.....

that's a piss poor analogy.

do you park in the handicap spots?

EDIT: I see Brian has done a masterful job of explaining my position.

Parking in the spot would be going to a show and checking out an ALD, bringing in your own ALD reciever would be walking up the ramp.

I don't think the analogy is that far off.

i second that one there Sammy. All this talk of ethics and morals reminds me of a fact I learned just the other day.The seven deadly sins (sins serious enough to kill one's soul) are currently anger, envy, pride, sloth, lust, gluttony, and covetousness. They haven't always been so, however. Originally, there were eight deadly sins (as proposed by King  Avagrius of Pontus). The eight  were gluttony, lust, avarice, sadness, anger, apathy, vainglory, and pride. Gregory the Great later decided that vainglory and pride were too much alike to be counted separately and combined them. He added envy. Later still, the Roman Catholic Church decided sadness wasn't a sin, and added sloth. Somewhere along the way, apathy was dropped as well.Thats a fact there.
Drink up fellas!

Why don't you shut up and drink yer beer before I practice one-a-them deadly sins on your hide.

that's a piss poor analogy.

do you park in the handicap spots?

A. No, i sure dont. Do you?

B. Why is it a piss poor analogy? You have a moral problem with using something that was meant for people with disabilities. Why dont you just answer the question. Keep in mind I have never IEM'd or ALD'd and dont really have a position one way or the other on the matter but if your gonna get all righteous about it because of some moral issue than make sure you follow your grand morals in all aspects of life, not just taping, lest you be tagged a hypocrite.... -T to all the ass kissers who are afraid to speak their minds on here for fear of getting the "dreaded" -T

I remember that stuff. Better give me a tall one in case I like it.

[The Gambler]

You've painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere
The shadow on the wall
Tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town

It wasn't me
That started that old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that
I'm not the man I used to be
Oh, Ruby I still need some company

Its hard to love a man
Whose legs are bent and paralysed
And the wants and the needs of a woman your age
Ruby I realize,
But it won't be long i've heard them say until I not around
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town

She's leaving now cause
I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it
Some 100 times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun
And put her in the ground
Oh Ruby
Don't take your love to town

Oh Ruby for God's sake turn around

Second, George made a very good practical point which you so conveniently, and inappropriately, dismissed.  Your handicap ramp analogy addressing this point is fundamentally flawed.  Using the handicap ramp does not prevent wheelchair bound people from using it - the person walking on the ramp can simply clear out and allow the person in the wheelchair to utilize the resource.  Using an ALD device at a concert, would you post an associate at the ALD desk or leave your section and seat number so in case they ran out you may immediately return yours for someone truly in need?  I suspect not.

It's nice to see the know all end all of knowledge chime in here. I'm glad my analogy is fundamentally flawed in your expert opinion. Evidently you are not looking at the overall moral question of exploiting the handicapped  by using that which was designed to be used by them. Thats what I'm looking at. Also, I never said I have bothered getting an ALD receiver however if I did feel like getting one and for some bizarre reason they needed it back I certainly would return it since I prefer an AUD recording anyways....
