Hi, it's me, the founder of rec.audio.tubes.

If you look at the charter I wrote for this group (John Byrns posted a
copy not long ago), you'll see that personal attacks and flame wars
are not allowed. Apparently, not everyone has seen this, so I thought
I should point it out.

I'm sure that things will be much more civil now that everyone knows
the rules.

Well, it was worth a shot, anyway...

Only too right that you should mention it, Reid. We have a few idiots
here who try to ruin RAT for everyone. But, in general, the position
is much better than it was in 1998 when there were more flame
warriors, and they were more determined, and they were more skilled.
The current crop of losers make so little impact, I keep them
killfiled and miss nothing. We do quite a bit of tubes despite them.
Perhaps you'd like to stick around and give us some tips.
