AOS - nowt but praise for you all
Well, I've been away for a while learning new things, and over the last few months I've been visiting another forum. Not hi-fi related, btw.
The people there were rude, unhelpful, cliquish, arrogant, immature... They made me feel most unwelcome due to my lack of skill. Needless to say, I've left that forum, and learned what I needed without out input from anyone there.
Contrast that with AOS - you have always been friendly, welcoming, willing to share knowledge, bent over backwards to be of assistance, and generally been thoroughly decent chaps. You are mature and respectful, but you know how to have a right good laugh (Three Word's Daily).
So, thanks to you all for making AOS such a superb place to be.
