Well, I swear some fella posted a new thread about this subject late last night/early this morning & I swear DSJR replied to it this morning.
- Am I too thick to find it?
- Did I dream it all?
- Or has it been lost somehow?
- Or......has it been removed because the little tinker who posted it contavened some sort of protocol/rule/law or part of the forum Ethos that wasn't there yesterday?
If it's the latter, then I expect that said little tinker would've liked to have been informed of the reason for the action - especially as that particular tinker was trying to do some good for the site owners (or so I heard).
.........good manners 'n' all that, y'know?

Delete him. He used the word tinker three times.

Hi Chris,
There's an explanation next to the deletion on the Abstract Chat thread index
Also, Steve should've sent you a PM to explain the situation properly. Has he not done this?

I clicked your link & got the same list of threads I got when I looked myself earlier - no thread called 'Support your local.......'
Therefore, no sign of:

There was a link to a UK supplier of little rubber-gel feet for a very reasonable sum -
www.audioserenity.co.uk.
Looks good and reasonable prices for them IMO..
I wouldn't have noticed it had I not had a gentle nudge.. So there!

Ok Marco, Steve & those others to whom it was of concern.
I now understand.
Sincere and public apologies for placing your opportunity in jeopardy.
I discussed this with Nick last night, although come to think of it, I never got a reply to my last PM, so he may not have read it before I posted the thread. As I never got a 'No, no, for gawd's sake don't do that', I assumed it would be OK.
