I hereby volunteer to be Moderator. I'll rule with an iron fist. I'll consolidate all the threads that are just links to the same article, even if those articles appear in different publications.

Imagine how this might play out: if the studio gets liquidated then there will be 5,000 threads about which mics are from Beatles recording sessions. Surely George Martin will be asked for a comment about the dismantling of the studio; that's another 1,500 threads with links to outside publications.

Then we haven't even mentioned what happens when the new owners decide to knock down the existing structure and build a luxury music-themed dayspa in its place. That thread alone will go on for over 75 pages, with everybody making their views vis-a-vis the owners' rights versus the heavy responsibility of maintaining what might be a UN World Cultural Site some day.

If the TOMB administrators approach this with the correct angle, perhaps our own Buy/Sell/Trade forum could be the only place in the world for the desks and outboard to be available to rich dilettante collectors. But that's only if they play their cards right.

Just sayin', that's all.
