Exactly right.

Where was that? Quotes please, of that actually happening. If you're referring to my post, directly above yours, then that's simply how you've interpreted what I wrote.

We're not doing the thing with the burning card no more then?

Or maybe you're just too interested in forum politics/other people's battles for your own good, and should keep your nose out of things that have nothing to do with you?

Just a thought...

Unfortunately not since Geoff seemed to enjoy the pain!

No. And don't mention 'the barrel', that may put him off.

Yep - tend to agree.

But this is what happens with most 'niche' forums in my experience and doesn't particularly surprise (or bother) me.
A few voices tend to dominate simply by posting more than others - only remedy is for 'quieter' forum members to post more.... or simply ignore the stuff that bores the pants off you.

Exactly right, Mike, although I may have put it slightly differently. However, such behaviour doesn't *automatically* constitute as shilling!

Only if you're blinkered and have a biased agenda [which incidentally threads like this are great at exposing] would you consider Ollie's behaviour as such, or indeed anyone else here guilty of simply 'bigging up' (no pun intended

) something that they consider as excellent.

In that respect, there's *no way* on this earth that anyone here will be asked to curb their natural enthusiasm towards a piece of equipment, which has sonically blown them away, simply because some find it annoying, or it irks a few jealous idiots elsewhere, desperate for attention, who suffer from issues of inadequacy.
