    Never mind Marco, I'll let you listen to mine, and you and Rob can do competitive write-ups. You won't feel disadvantaged then

    I thought you were in favour of different opinions being voiced? At what point does expressing a contrary view amount to 'thread crapping'? Discuss.

    Thread drift is really just part of open conversation, as in life someone will always alter the subject without intention. One day we'll start a thread on Marmite and end on Norwegian 14th century politics.

    It was funny enough not to necessarily warrant the rather intense response from Mr Sinclair who has only just joined and may or may not have seen the recent domination of threads by the very small and disproportionate number of ADM9 protagonists with their pseudo objectivist and absolutist agendas.

    Having said that standalone jcbrum is a lot nicer than the one working in tandem with the AVI propaganda machine.

    This is me posting with my admin hat in a drawer somewhere btw. The thread crapping comment on my part was a mere observation and does not (necessarily) herald any form of admin intervention or censorship.

    Apologies if I was over-intense. It's not something I'm usually accused of being! i think furrowed-brow seriousness is inappropriate for something like hifi chat; it should be reserved for seriously important things like the correct use of the apostrophe.

    Sheesh, don't get me started on that one! I'll never stop typing otherwise.
