Bob, I seem to be replying only to you!

Mr Lesurf has got the ****s with me because he finally (after a great
deal of patience on *my part*) caught on to the fact that I didn't need
his tediously long and involved (and usually three days late)
explanations of various points which he deemed had skated past me.

Come on Keith stop winding people up. :-)




Bob, if I am winding people up it'll almost always involve valves and/or
vinyl - the two *audio* topics the 'techno****s' tries to stamp out of
existence in this group some time ago.


Jim is a learned guy and we're lucky he spends the time to give us the
theoretical run down on things. That doesn't mean you have to concede to
every point Jim makes but does mean you need to have a good counter
argument which is a good thing. If he writes an article for you, the least
you can do is read it, we all have more to learn.


Bob, don't know where you were at the time but occasionally JL's posts only
got responses after I had replied to him and got the ball rolling. (If he
has any honesty at all he will remember that.) The problem (and personal
cost) for me was that it would only expose my further ignorance of topics
that I wasn't really interested in and, of course, opened the gates for a
further round of lectures and chidey finger-wagging.

I'm afraid (oops) I simply got fed up with trying to politely sidestep the
various *tedious/unending* issues that were, frankly, boring my wris****ch
to a standstill.

Then we've got this ludicrous 'wining debates' business....

Count me out, Bob - I know what a self-publicising egoist looks like when I
see one; he can feed on his current popularity (while it lasts) without
interference from me!

Further: I don't really trust 'ex-spurts' Bob - I've seen too many ****-ups
perpetrated by them in my lifetime. There is nothing in *audio* today which
wasn't hammered nice and flat by the Japanese in the 70s and of course they
are leading the way again with 'HD' today - the rest is just people
desperately trying to create an *earning niche* by being a bit different....

(Ask Baron Tim de Paravicini - or just plain 'Paravicini' as I knew him at
school...!! ;-)
