Whether I leave or not is inmaterial and it certainly wont be at the
request of someone like Scott. Particularly since my post was rather
generic and not singling out anyone. Guilty conscience maybe?
What is important is that the forum not become taken over by the likes
of a certain few who seem to have a high degree of emotional instability
to add to their lack of knowledge. Thats a bad combination.
Ah yes, the battles of the past! There were actually times when those
antagonists made sense to those of us who were mostly bystanders.
What I miss the most were the several engineers of amp and tube
companies along with a few EE college professors. They pretty much put
one of their own in his place at least until they left the forum. I also
left after that as the discussions became pretty much a one man show.
