 RG> Thank you!
 Hey, I gotta call 'em like I see 'em. I was totally impressed with your
 handling of the situation.  Especially considering the challenging and
 less-than-friendly message that Pearson posted.
 RG> Fidonet is a hobby -- it's supposed to be *fun*.
 It's amazing how many folks lose sight of that fact...
 RG> Of course, waaayyy off-topic stuff (chain letters, sex ads,
 RG> personal flame-wars, et al) ruin the echo for everyone.  Let
 RG> common sense prevail.  And have *fun*.
 Yep! Otherwise, we'd be no different than the average alt.* newsgroup.
 RG> (It's unlikely AUDIO would drop off the backbone due to traffic;

 Wow, I had no idea the requirement was that low.  Thanks!
 RM>> Agreed. And IMHO, my Beta decks SOUND better, too.  ;-)

 So are you an audio hobbyist? If so, please tell us a little bit about
 your interests.  What?  OK, I'll go first.  ;-)
 I've been an audio hobbyist since the late 60's. I'm a 'software type'
 who gave up chasing the state-of-the-art in hardware about two decades
 ago.  Nowadays, I'm happy with a system that's middle-of-the-road by
 audiophile standards;  I demand competence from my stereo system, but
 not excellence. I prefer to spend the extra dosh on CDs.   And to
 be honest, my ears ain't what they used to be; a truly accurate stereo
 sytem would be wasted on them.  :-/
