              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.

Dave, WT8R
