I was told to put Kitty Litter in my new speaker stands. Was he joking?

Its like this everywhere. There are guys who say use peanut butter to recondition the black rubber trim on cars. Some monkey says it, some bird parrots what the first monkey said, eventually whole flock of sheep baaa-baaa-baaa-ing the same blather.

All because using the old noggin, ow makes my head hurt. 

So it has been. So ever it shall be. Participate or not. Choose wisely.
