Personally I don't give a hang whether Tom uses the Amps reflector to HELP
him design amplifiers or not.
What I have a problem with is the high handed manner with which we are told
that this design philosophy must be followed or that we don't know our sitter
from a toroid. The pontification that Tom spews out certainly scares off
many who would like to learn some of the knowledge available here as seen
above.
One might think that Tom owns this list and will decide who is qualified to
participate and who isn't.
