Don't be a douchebag (if you're not sure what that means then here you go... Douchebag - An individual who has an over-inflated sense of self worth, compounded by a low level of intellegence, behaving ridiculously in front of colleagues with no sense of how moronic he appears.) and try to appear "smart"; you're being an ass.  If I had the time and money (or a PS2) I would definitely consider this project.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lawrence]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 14th 2006 8:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What Would Malmsteen Play?

I don't know where your "douchebag" reference comes from.  I don't consider you my colleague.  You seem to have problems with simple social interaction, coupled with (or caused by) a limited vocabulary.  Besides, saying something to someone on the internet that you wouldn't say to someone's face in in person is pretty damn lame.<br><br>That said, a Squire is generally accepted to be of lesser value than a Fender.  In fact, Mexican-made Fenders are generally accepted to be of lesser value than US made Fenders.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[embee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 14th 2006 10:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on What Would Malmsteen Play?
