Having followed ashley's link the bit that hit me was
''Check the growing sales of turntables, vinyl records, stereo receivers and bookshelf speakers. Music is almost as important as oxygen. It will always find a way to flourish.''

I'm AudioAl'sArbiterForPISHANTO.
Ashley,
I like you, but what you have to realise is that you come on forums and express views in a very robust cocksure style which are diametrically opposed to those of the majority of members, so I'm sorry, but you have to accept the inevitable consequences. I don't believe that anyone has been unduly nasty towards you.
Robust debating will always be permitted here, but personal insults will not be tolerated, and we've ensured that whenever this has happened it is quickly dealt with. Richard has been asked to moderate his remarks and although he has been impertinent towards you he has not used invective, certainly since his recent return. Tony (Mr C) has done nothing wrong whatsoever, and did not deserve to have you insulting him because he hit a raw nerve with one of his remarks.
Anyway, it's your decision to go if you wish. None of the admin team wishes you to do so, but if you're waiting for an apology from Tony or Richard I think you'll have a long wait!!
My advice? Stay and give as good as you get without resorting to personal remarks and be a man not a mouseYou are quite capable of sticking to your guns and defending yourself!
Marco.

no one on here with any sense [that i have read anyway] has ever implied that adm9's can't possibly be any good, in fact i would go as far as saying that for the purpose they were intended they probably do a reasonably good job, [i am sticking my neck out here having not heard them] and i for one have said in past posts that i would really like to hear what they are capable of one day, without any prejidice [spelling] so come on, get back on your soap box, you will only have more time on your hands to play with those old pieces of british motoring memrobilia, see, i can be diplomatic!
