[sdiy] Not so good Trader- Tim aka SmashTV .

[Heitor Alves]

Hi Karl

Ok...i've noticed you are the author of that post on midibox forum...
i had some "suspitions" about that..
About the thread been deleted...i cant coment it, i can only be
sorry...it was supossed that the forum was made for exchanging ideias.
But i keep on saying... you were a little bit hard the way you started
that post. i'm no engennier, only a hoobyst... like i've said, i agree
with the bypass caps, but fortunally things work without them. Perhaps
not 1000000% like you would like, but they work.

Regarding the reply you have made to a post on someone (that even is
here on the list) you have once made an error... you must start
thinking about the way you talk to people. once again you were
agressive. But hey... if you are happy that way ;o)...

lets finish this silly conversation so that the real users of this
list dont waist bandwith.

regards

over & out
