Hi Chris,
Well, if 'about2' doesn't introduce himself or herself in the Welcome area soon, and prove they are genuine, then their account will simply be deleted.
However, we have to give him or her a chance to comply with that request first.
Marco.
Hi Marco
Sorry if its a bit strong ' but i just feel someone is trying to provoke a certain response and i do hope i'm wrong ' but like Chris say's he may have bolted .
i lieu of an appropriate emoticon i have made my own

Very good Hamish (have you lost weight?;)) - I know exactly how you feel, and my (limited) posts on the subject have hopefully been non-partisan nor emotive. I have my own feelings on the subject, and as I said in the other thread I just think it is a very sad situation. I'm sure it will all blow over in time.
Indeed - and most importantly with Mike New's good reputation intact, as he has been the innocent victim in all of this.

I don’t wish to add further shit to the already spinning fan but is this the same Dave Cawley that recently took over WAD?
I've just noticed that Dave has pulled his bearing for sale on Ebay. Have a look, chaps: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=260679959753
That one was very easy to predict, as whoever bought the bearing would've discovered that:
A) It wasn't defective.
B) Once fitted to an SL-1200/1210, it was (significantly) sonically superior to the Timestep one.
...neither of which would've suited Dave's agenda.
Well done, Dave! :clap:
Shame about the charity, though........
Marco.
The thing is that in these days of austerity and more cuts to come, trying to make a substantial markup in the specialised audio industry is infuriating to many, myself included. NZ$400 was around £200 wasn't it, so I suspect that doubling the selling price and adding VAT may have been considered ok, assuming the MN bearing was to have been around £500 from memory.
The Top End of uadio distribution/importation etc has been full of this for decades, but summat's got to give here...
