Nobody knew, apart from Russ and myself.  We kept our mouths shut.  :)

Jesus, they're excellent stats, even if David's lines ARE pretty damn good.

I'd kill for a frequency response like that.  Bastard!

Absolutely.  What are house prices like in Griffith right now?  :)

Yeah, the 2km of copper would account for the extra couple of dB, but in
your shoes, I certainly wouldn't be complaining.  I think that Paul has a
genuine gripe though.  Seems that his lines could indeed be a lot better
after all.
