Would calling what I post 'guff' qualify as an insult, Ian..?

Look, we spread these things over several threads at times. Who's keeping score about the first snarky thing that is said? Without a doubt, I can find at least as insulting a reference on your part on another thread. So, don't act all wounded on one thread while you are dishing out the same 'guff' on others...

Oops! there I go again...

For instance, it's curious how you find it impossible to discuss Yamaha, without tossing in some pretty overt Roland bashing. You know, I KNOW that Roland could improve considerably. But not their build quality. And I am perfectly happy to discuss what could be improved. However, you have a problem sticking to the issue of Yamaha's build quality. Whatever they make is good enough for you, good bad or indifferent. Time to bash the competition, rather than civilly discussing the issue. Start a Roland thread if that's what you REALLY want to talk about. It's pretty obvious you bring in the Roland zingers when you haven't actually got anything constructive to say other than 'whatever they do is fine by me'...

And that, my friend, is called 'obfuscation' and 'misdirection', NOT 'discussion'.
