It seems a real shame that the TECHNICS FORUM has digressed the way it has over recent days, but I guess it was inevitable that it would be heading that way purely due to some of the content that was being offered up & the fact that threads were being lifted.
At the risk of (not for the first time ) repeating myself I had made my feelings only too well known about the chit chat themes (now lifted ) & rightly or wrongly I strongly feel that there are more appropriate forums where such off piste discussions should take place.
This is only my opinion & I would never expect everybody to agree with me.But I reserve the right to get fed up

I was a member of the Bebop mailing list but for some inexplicable reason somewhere down the line I got excluded so I came to the conclusion that it must have been some of the posts that I made that Bebop did not agree with but there again I could be wrong.

I have often thought it wrong that a moderator should get so openly involved, I have always been under the impression a moderator stays in the background ,is impartial, an arbitrator, a mediator, can a person really moderate & run a club within a club? You tell me.

When the new KN7000 hits the streets it would not surprise me one little bit if it's the Technote Forum where it is all going to be happening because it seems that so many people appear to be fed up.
My Regards
