Are you so incapable of comprehension that you need things 'pointed
out to you'? Or is this by one of your phantom 'friends' that reads
this group but is too terrified to post themselves that you've
mentioned so often?


Even you surely must have noticed the number of interesting people who
have disappeared from this group in the past say eight years or so.

Indeed. People move on.

I am thinking in particular of two, both with BBC backgrounds.
One had been at BBC Bristol for many years, the other had,
it turned out much later, been technical director and Magnegraph
when they were in Hanway PlaceW1.

Why does the fact they have BBC backgrounds matter? Apart from to you.
obviously.

Both knew much too much about analogue, valves and disc
cutting to suit the prevailing agenda.

Heh heh. You mean they hadn't kept up with the latest developments?

You, the Flying Scotsman and The Tambourine Man quickly shut the door in
their faces.

Perhaps you know who you're referring to - I don't. And I've never shut
the door on anyone's face. Of course if I disagreed with them I'd say so.
It's called debate. If I just wanted a lecture I'd go elsewhere.

Both of these interesting people, and several others,
I am happy to say, still keep in regular touch
by e-mail.

Bully for you. I take it you're not so rude or patronising to them on that
as you are to people here? But don't you get tired of the endless back
patting - agreeing with every word said?

Perhaps it's my kind face and sunny disposition:-)

I don't quite know what you want, Iain. You seem to want polite discussion
but then provoke many with your snide comments. And get all hurt when
others reciprocate.
