Yo, Pinkerton:

Since October 2004 you sent 4607 message to RAT, which is
rec.audio.tubes. You don't have a tube amp. Your expressed attitude to
tubes is that you hate them. Your total contribution after 4607
messages to a tube conference is generally agreed to be zero, in fact
negative. Most consider that you did this vile thing maliciously and
pettily.

If each of those messages took you only ten minutes to find and read
the post you responded to, to type and send you reply, that is 46070
minutes or 767 hours or over 50 hours every month to ruin other
people's glee in their hobby

What's your excuse?

Andre Jute
