Default Hey, Useless Wiecky, where is your apology for being a know-nothing and an abusive bully?

Mr. McCoy:

Try something new. Repetition of the same tired stupidities certainly
does not enhance whatever case you might pretend. Most certainly your
hands are far from clean. The merest bit of googling confirms that and
much, much more.

c.f. Andrew Jute McCoy and more.

If it is all some kind of hoax then it's a well researched one.
I'd be the first to acknowledge that things on the Internet
are quite often not what they seem, but in this case I think not.
There is an Andre Jute listed in the Irish phone book for
a small town near Cork, which is where he claims to live.
There are also some out of print books in the same name.

I thnk he's just an attention seeking nut-case. He's harmless
as long as you don't let him get to you. He's a fairly competent
writer (overlooking the fact that the actual content of his
writing is vituperous drivel). He has some fairly basic understanding
of electronics and tubes, enough to fool not only quite a few people on
this newsgroup for a while, but also Glass Audio magazine for whom
he wrote some stuff a few years back. However as soon as
things go into any depth he is lost, technically, and he absolutely
hates that.

The world is full of strange people, and the Internet has an uncanny
ability to find them.
