I think Richard took this to be implying that he was paying or otherwise encouraging people to promote his products. This is I think a reasonable interpretation to make.Originally Posted by Mr. C
If Tony did not intend it this way, then perhaps he could say so. Otherwise, I would say that this is a serious allegation and should only be made if provable.

Not in the slightest. I just wanted you to see how I feel about it.

Well said!
I may be wrong, but does there seem to be quite a bit of, erm, 'passionate discussion' among some of the forum members who are 'in the trade'?
It's quite interesting to some of us punters, but I hope it doesn't all end in tears!

There is going to be more of this as you observe the death throws of an industry with a parallel rebirth. Differing ideas and concepts on this rebirth. Ashley and AVI is one very valid one - we will all go laptops or iPong pods. He may be right for the majority. BUT the enthusiast will still have to have his hobby. Like it was in the 50's and early 60's we are going back to it, the wheel turns.Well said!

No they had virtually identical things to the ones you rave about50s and early 60s? Was that when they had those wind-up Gramophones?

Now hey!.... don't get all philosophical on me, I'm a simpleton, just ask JC'sBum!... pointing at the moon indeed!
I'm trying to do my 'bit'. I buy things in kit form or directly from manufacturers these days, if it's something I NEED to use a dealer for I tend to look for independent folk who deal mainly in second hand gear.
Opps sorry, I believe the correct phrase these days is 'quality pre-owned equipment supplier'!
Cheers,
Mike.
