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
