Ian, you haven't MADE a case to rest...

You keep coming up with hypotheses that are demonstrably false, and blather on incessantly about Yamaha's infallibility, rather than coming up with some concrete facts. You NEVER refute anything with anything other than 'Yamaha don't do it (right now, though), so it MUST be right', and bleat scorn at those who DO back up their arguments with facts.

Yamaha DID make a 76, so there goes the 'no market' argument. Refute THAT with some FACTS, not 'faith'. Damn, it's like talking to a religious fundamentalist. 'Yamaha/God is ALWAYS right, so anything inconsistent should just get ignored.' 'Yamaha/God is always right' 'Four legs good... Two legs bad' 'Four legs good, two legs baaaaa-d'

But you know what's REALLY getting my goat? Ian does not want a 76 S900, doesn't care one way or the other if Yamaha made one, will support it FANATICALLY if they do, and is taking this stand out of no desire other than throwing sand in the vaseline. He doesn't actually have a point (other than 'Four legs good, two legs baaaaa-d!), but will defend the lack of it for as long as we are willing to humor him.

My sense of humor has run out. Snappy little one liners don't prove a thing. FACTS do. Of which he has NONE... Just snippy little digs that don't hold any creditability, because he has already given away the fact that he is completely uncritical when it comes to Yamaha. They can do no wrong...

You've got to question the sanity of someone that will take something this far, when he has absolutely nothing of any personal interest in the topic. Don't want a 76, Ian? Then what are you doing posting here? Does our need for one trouble you? Do you toss and turn at night thinking about us poor lost souls who can't be satisfied with the scraps Yamaha throw us? No... you don't give a damn one way or the other. So why this post-fest? Don't you have a long line of customers to demo and sell to?

In Yamaha we Trust... (there's a post opening up in Bush's cabinet for someone as uncritical as you, Ian!)
