Hifi Thesaurus... by Nicnaim.

Dear Friends,

I suddenly had a brainwave for finding this, considering the search engine throws nothing up unfortunately.

It is one of the funniest Threads I have ever seen here. I remembered who posted to it, and roughly when. Then searched manually in the view recent posts engine...

I hope others enjoy the read...

Kindest regards from Fredrik
