Typo - It was sorted almost immediately. If you'd double-checked before you posted you'd have noticed. And there's nothing wrong with 'spelt' in that context. You can use 'spelt' or 'spelled'. Maybe you need a new prescription for those bi-focals?

I never take too much I say that seriously, and I ALWAYS reserve the right to change my mind. One of the rights I have earned in my old age - haha!

Hmmm, interestingI guess we are only human & we all make mistakes, i know i do but thankfully not too regularly
I'm not sure i have been here long enough to drop a serious clanger though & i still think/feel the same way about kit etc that i did when i joined. I haven't exactly had my eyes opened up (or should that be ears) to a new way of thinking.
Plenty of time for that though, Mark want's to hear some good OB speakers on a decent system. At that point i might retract some of what i have just said, or maybe not?
Bests, Mark

My mother used to say, of me, "Don't bother to agree with him because he's already changed his mind!"
Growing up I was blessed with wise elders, a family of "thinkers". One of the biggest lessons was, "Never stop educating yourself." That, of course, means as you continually gain more (hopefully factual/truthful) information, your outlook on, opinions of and stance on things will inevitably change over time with the acquisition of such knowledge.
But, yeah, there are a few things I've wished I had never written on a forum.
Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.
