Great catch and StevenTyler did the definitions!

The word mute is also used to describe an attachment used on brass instruments (horns) to muffle them down or lower the presence of the sound.

And that is exactly what I meant in my comment "therefore, your question is mute!".

This is why I love this board! While everyone out there is running in circles to correct a comment, one or two people like SDS sit there and say "What the f*** did he mean?" Bravo Steve - most people read the post and thought "moot"! You at least had the insight to see that there is a method to my madness!

Now, bring on the drugs!

Regards
