Who determine's a participant's legitimacy? From the discussions I've read over the year's on Bottlehead, Mike qualifies in my book, and from the list of weird parts he put up for sale at one point, I suspect he has done a fair bit of experimenting.From what I could see **in this thread**, he made a harmless, possibly interesting parts sub suggestion. I don't have the time or the inclination, (as I just told you in the private off-line debate you started), to investigate your entire history with Mike.
Did I get back on a different bus? This was an audio hobbyist, DIYer kinda place last I checked. Now there are comparison's between one member's debate/discussion style and Stalin's. A bit much, really.
I'll take my leave now as this is getting silly in a sadly all too non-Monty Pythonish kind of way.
