Unka et al;

What you stated is a good point, and I've not forgotten that this list
is a free resource for us Audifans. I've been on this list since ~98
or so, not the longest length of time, but not a new sub.

Brett has done a decent job of moderating, so you may be right, we
should give him a bit of slack. I just want to make it known that no
disrespect was meant, I just wanted to air how I've felt for a while.
