    Sure, Chris. It's up to him what he does or doesn't do.

    However, I think that if a forum, normally used by its members, has been closed all of a sudden for over 4 weeks, with no explanation, supporting a business that is supposedly thriving, then people are entitled to ask questions. Imagine what they would be saying if the same thing happened to AoS!

    Anyway, we'll leave it at that

    Ha - well let's face it, that's all it's good for. You're hardly likely to learn anything useful there about hi-fi or music!!

    wigwam.net? Lol - that's Peck's old place: a veritable haven for the most brain damaged of nutters. The least said about that place the better!

    I'm also of the opinion that responding to this sort of nonesense is counter productive. If it was witty and well observed that would at least be something but it is an epic fail in that regard. Although I feel I must reproduce this morsel from the inimitable Daniel Quinn:

    'It would seem you are correct Mr Cawley as once again only the usual couple of pillocks engage in his unjust attack and then the thread descends in to inane drivel and crude schoolboy sexual innuendo, which for some reason is a constant craving of il deuce .'



    Sounds like a review of a Spinal Tap album! Proof positive that we are getting it right.

    Fair enough to let it lie...

    His "bread bin" still looks pretty freakin' horrid even if it by chance does offer any kind of additional isolation. No matter the case, I'm sure if DC needs any more original ideas, he'll just nip over to Kevin's, Mike's, Paul's or Arthur's website and pilfer at will.
    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.

    Hahaha - priceless!

    What makes it even funnier is that we're being judged by the king of pillocks himself: the very man who invented the phenomenon!! On that note, I think the thread has now run its course, as it's clear we're getting no nearer to finding out any answers to the situation with the Timestep forum.
