Great reply Will! I would have answered the same way.

  It looks to me that when someone starts questioning someones education, and whom they worked for is in reality grasping at straws, or in the last throws of a sinking ship. Honestly, it's NOYB, and the others on here, most all I think (except any new ones) know what my experience is. My guess is, and I'd say several on here may agree, that me experience in designing, building, and repairing amplifiers is at the top of the heap. Not only that, I've probably helped most everyone on the mailer at one time or another. So question my credentials all you want, the folks on here is the judge and jury on whos making a total a## out of themselves.

  Secondly, I never once said the fuse was a bad idea, you did and are trying to put words in my mouth. I'd like to ask everyone else on here, did any of you read anywhere, on any post I made, say that those grid fuses were a bad idea?

  You know what's awful funny here. When Rich had some words with the Admin of this list a while back, within 1-2 days you magically poped up? This a guy who hasn't posted one lick on this list for years. Then, at every post Rich makes, you try to dis-prove him or discredit him at his every turn. I also had a few complaints that same day with the Admin, and now your pouncing on every post I make, and have tried time and time again to mis-quote me, and put words in my mouth I never said. I save every post I've made for 3 months back, and can pull one up lightning fast. The rest are saved in the archives for this mailer. Just to let you know.

  73,

  Will
