Geepherder, just a slight correction- I was completely correct in this assertion. Your extrapolations from my statements do not make them mine. I correctly asserted that RIGIDITY matters, not thickness... you need to think more abstractly. The ONLY materials available that would be rigid enough to withstand the compression waves of a sub must be inherently thick.. this does NOT mean that they're for the proper functioning of a sub, simply that they are.

Maybe if this someone was the same sort who needs the "Not for use in Bathtubs" sticker on the hairdryer or the "Do not Collapse while occupied" on the baby stroller..

Hmm. Okay its like this... I didn't so much put down stevdart as hold him accoutable for his "air in wood" comment. I'm sorry, I'll be the first to admit, stev is certainly a Jedi Master to my Padewan Learner, but he was seriously asleep at the keyboard on that one. He's gonna need to stand up and take one on the chin for that. Here, I'll call him on it: stevdart: Your "air in the wood" statement was retarded. I promise, he doesn't care. See youngone, its not so much that I'm not able to be polite, its just that I find ascerbic mouthiness suits my personality so much more.

youngone wrote: see they were polite in corecting you thanks guys

Oh come on just LOOK at my posts! Look at yours! I can't help but have a modicum of smarminess! Believe me its my only release! If it makes you feel any better, IRL, I'm totally miserable. I mean seriously look what the hell I'm spending my Friday night doing. To be honest youngone, I actually kinda get a kick out'a ur earnestness..

Ahh heamph! I was thinking earlier how cool it would be to invent this material and patent it! I mean, I really can't kid myself, I'm not that motivated... as much as I'd love to position myself competitively in the synthetic chemicals market and begin building myself a billion-dollar industrial empire with the "infithin-infirigid-inium"... eh..err... "sedatium" and begin selling like plastic and usher in an entire new era of synthetic materials..... It'd be great and I'm sure enormously self-actualizing but I think I'd really just lazy myself out, whore the patent to DuPont for 8 figures a year and call it a day.. yea?

well anyhow stevdart thanks for your simple answer to my simple question!
