What's happening to this great Forum? The constant bickering is a deadly signal that there will be a great falling away of membership, as discontent is displayed in so many posts. Why are we like this, is it so important,that we rave and rant because our wishes and ideas are not being considered? Should we fire up and bring this Forum to its knees, without any effort at negotiating, or trying to help our moderator,with calm considered suggestions? It's so easy to to criticize, and threaten withdrawal. without giving a thought to what it takes to administrate and keep this Smythzone running, bookkeeping, and e-mailing,zipping and un-zipping, hours and hours and not one cent of renumeration. Either we want to keep this special Technics Forum, healthy and happy, or we will go the route of Tecnote, where the same illness crept in. I'm not a great player, and I'm not a great poster, but I have lived on this planet a long time, and I can assure you now, that the road we are taking, will drive us streight to disaster. Why don't we take the other fork in this musical journey, which will take us to fun, happiness and contentment. Thinking of you at 82.. ARJ
