Digital BW, The Print

So far you've referred to sport car enthusiasts in the 50's and 60's as
geeks and nerds....now fans of  vinyl LP's and tube amplifiers are
irrelevant. Have you ever heard a Hammond B3? Your analogies are strange.
Why not stick to the theme of this group? An answer is not required...it
would be irrelevant. I used to learn a lot from these people but it seems to
have turned into an endless ego battle between a few. Sorry for my attitude
but enough is really enough.
