Considering the general decline of the usenet, it is doing better than one
might
expect, it is definitely still a cool place. *Unfortunately the group is
currently suffering through one of its worst periods as a result of

John, in defence (that's Canadian!) of Patrick, he may have a style
that some don't like but he has some of the best understanding of tube
audio you can find anywhere. So, let's discuss content... good, bad,
and indifferent, and avoid personal remarks!
Roger, that is the point, Patrick doesn't avoid personal remarks in his OT
rants. While I may not be a target of his personal remarks, others are,
including individuals, citizens of the USA, and humans in general.
Bottom line, it would be better if he confined his remarks here to tube lore, as
defined in this groups charter, and took his political and environmental
religious pronouncements to to other groups where they would be on topic.
