Should we stop calling online services where people can post and discuss topics "forums"?

A forum should only be a public meeting place for open discussion.

Don't even get me started on those goddamned "bathrooms" that don't have bathtubs.

If so then I'm out, bros. There are many of you who would be tedious in public. Not naming any names but you know who you are.

500 is a benchmark number. I think the protagonist in the Hornby novel mentioned the number 500 as being a minimum for a serious music collector. I never even listen to my vinyl any more but I still have over 1000 records. It probably maxed out at 2000 (including singles) but tons of it was stolen living in a hippy houses.

I still call digital releases albums, records, and singles. My phone is the only medium I listen to anymore. It's not sound; it's convenience. I don't even have to get out of bed.

It would be fun to make fun of your music in person and I want to see Chula cold cock you with his old man jab, so you can come.
