It's a real shame that the AMPS@... turned into what it did.
I quit amps@ about 2 months ago because of the nazi style control and censuring.
I refuse to belong to any GROUP that censures.
Since 1997, I have opposed censorship on AMPS, I got booted out 4- times and I was reinstated 3-times- thanks to pressure on the censor from AMPS members. My main weapon was direct-mailing to members around the censor when I got censored or booted.
As I see it, the freedom of the Internet can topple any megalomaniac that comes along, no matter if he appoints one of his faithful lap-dogs as the censor, or, as recently happened. he appoints himself as the censor.
If you haven't used YAHOO before there are abilities to POST to
a FILES section and a PICTURES section.
So if you have any files or pictures LOG in to YAHOO
at www.yahoo.com and get a different look at the GROUP
and the things you can do.
I personally am not a GURU but enjoy reading questions
and answers about amps. They are black magic to me.
historical note -- Up until I completed the "Plywood Box" x100 amplifier, I used to feel pretty much the same way, but then the lights came on, and I realized that it was a machine of smaller, understandable, machines, and the whole thing made sense. I was 42 when the lights came on, some 27 years after building my first amplifier. Now I'm 65 and I feel fortunate to be alive.

It does not appear that the amps reflector will allow mentioning of
this group. We must spread the word by direct E-Mails to our friends.
In the amps archives, there is only one message posted today, and only
two posts made it through yesterday.
