I guess I was unaware that the purpose of this reflector was to
help Tom design amplifiers for Ameritron in order to make a living.
Gee, I didn't realize that Tom needed help from hearing him talk
about all of his expertise and how no one else knows much of anythng
Maybe I have under a misimpression, but I thought this was a
list dedicated to the free discussion of amplifier technology.
Just because I subscribe to this list, am I required to agree
with Tom's or Rich's design philosophy? Who is simple minded enough to tell
me I have to agree with anything I read on this list.
I thought we left whining and telling on bad boys in grade school.
Come on boys, let's act ike adults.
