Yup, good point, Al. No activity from Gordon since September... Perhaps Pinky's heard from him? Or if anyone else has, please let us know.

I thought Al knew Gordon out of the forum. I haven't heard from him. Firebottle may know something

If I recall, Gordon said something about being out of touch for a while. Can't remember the reason.

Yes I seem to remember him saying he would be putting audio on the back burner for some time. Think he had some other hobbies etc that needed his attention more. Sure he will return sometime, but think Alan will have more definite knowledge

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Hi folks,
Many thanks for the concern about my absence.
My hearing has been slowly deteriorating for some time but it has taken a huge turn for the worse of late and I don't doubt I will be profoundly deaf quite soon. Whilst my love of music remains, it will have to be enjoyed on headphones or at levels that would mean we have very unhappy neighbours. The Quads wouldn't stand that sort of input!
So it seems unlikely that an interest in the slight differences between various equipment will be retained.
Apart from that, I have rediscovered my teenage hobby and have spent time on slot racing forums rather than here and hope to rejoin the racing community. This is serious stuff of course and nothing to do with toy cars
There will no doubt be a full report of the happenings at chateaux Nodrog today from certain other members.
So, I will pop in from time to time to see what is happening in the world but as a major interest, hi-fi is definitely on the back burner.
It has been great being part of this community and I have enjoyed the various discussions whilst I've been here so it's sad to have it end but sometimes life makes decisions for you dunnit!

No worries, Gordon. I fully understand. Good to know that you're ok and are enjoying some new interests
Sorry about your hearing. I hope it doesn't get too bad, allowing you still to enjoy your music on whatever format suits best. You know that you're welcome here anytime!
Marco.

Hi Gordon. Glad you're OK. I hope something can be done to help your hearing. I'm a partly deaf myself so I can imagine what a bind it must be. Pop in here when you can. You have a lot to contribute. Geoff.
