    I suppose if buying a fair amount of stuff it's going to be worth it but it seems excessive for 4 plugs.

    I've no idea what's gone on here, in terms of some of the recent 'altercations', and right now don't have time to read it all. However, from the quick scan read I've given it, I don't get, Kevin, what prompted posts #85 and #87...

    It doesn't seem to tie in with what had been posted before that. Not taking any sides here, as I haven't read things fully yet, it's just that bit I don't get

    Ok, I've just read the rest of the exchange (unfortunately most of which has now been deleted), and it's clear that an innocent remark from Kevin (and by that I mean as far as how he intended it) has been taken the wrong way by Gary, and then Kevin took umbrage at Gary's reaction to it and subsequent reply - and the whole thing escalated from there!

    It's a simple misunderstanding, guys, and been blown out of all proportion. Certainly, any bad feelings between you are completely unwarranted. It's just something that happens on forums sometimes, so let's put the whole thing behind us and move on

    Marco,

    Having had time to reflect on this now, my comments were taken completely out of context.
    To suggest that I have no sense of courtesy and I deliberately belittle someone is about as far wrong as a character judgement can get. In the past I have openly shared information about great sounding cables for the benefit of others.
    That stops now. I can’t be bothered posting about these things if it creates problems with what I can only assume are over sensitive individuals.

    Yes I know I have been told to leave it there, and to move on.
    The second part of the request is perfectly acceptable. I intend to move on.
    The comments that irked me are still here. I will add nothing further to this post, so you may as well close it.


    P.S. Carbon fibre is conductive. How much can depend on the resin used to manufacture the CFRP parts. That is why we are able to make aeroplanes from it.

    Guys, I'm closing this thread because I've lost the will to live with it all now... When I say move on, I mean MOVE ON

    This should've all been dealt with. Put each other on your ignore list, if necessary, and be done with it. I don't want to see any more of this pish again!
