A final word from me on this particular thread.
First of all, sorry Beakybird that this somehow turned into what it did because of something I said with no ill intent meant to anyone.
I think Nigel's idea of this forum is for music minded people to get together on friendly terms and share info and opinions in a courteous manner, which is what I try to do. If someone reads something into my comments that's not my problem. If someone disagree's with my opinion, oh well, that's their peragative.
I think we all agree to be able to disagree. I disagreed with Donny, pure and simple. No insult intended. No need for Donny to change his post so that my original comments are no longer aimed at what he said. No need for him to not post on someones music in the future. But that's not my choice to make.
As for squeak, you are certainly entitled to your opinion even if it's different from mine. And it's ok to state your case. However, I really would have prefered your comments to me to have been done in a friendly and courteous manner.
I have all kinds of other comments to make on different points on this thread, but honestly, this is all so immaterial that I won't.
Hope everyone is feeling in a better mood soon.
This is one reason I post very little on SZ as compared to several years ago.
I will not be reading or responding to anything else in this thread.
