Jon, you did not understand me. The quality is exellent on this reflector.
But sometimes it's hard to follow all the msgs with different subjects
without any notices of the authors of the first title or reflector mail.
That is wat getting confusing me. The best example is your own mail. Another
reader can't follow you. Nothing about the first writer and using a new
subject. And that is what make it difficult to find an association.
>>Often I think some guys forget that we are amateurs and not professionals.
That means not a niveau of appliance operators. That means not all players
are professional players. The amateur would like to lern from the professional
but he can't when the professional is not giving any chance. Don't forget,
this is an amateur reflector and not a professional forum.
