Jon, you may have no idea of how much good this website does for the quad community. If it were'nt for QuadraphonicQuad, I doubt I would have one tenth of the collection I now have. That and the technical information that gets passed around is most valuable. Don't worry about the hot heads, and ban them if you have to, just please keep this site going. And thank you.

He is a very talented person who is very passionate about quad and preserving old quad recordings. He sometimes gets very defensive when he probably should not and that actually makes me sad. I happened to like the guy and appreciated his accomplishments, but he tends to get too passionate, to put it mildly, and after a very long time I finally did in fact have to ban him as he left me no choice. He is missed by some, including me, but for the sake of the membership here he had to go.
One of the things I really hate about running this forum is the tension and bitterness that sometimes develops around here. Many of us are old and getting older. Getting into arguments and tirades on the internet is just so not worth it. I have on a number of times decided to tank this place only to be turned around by something good that happens, or encouragement from the membership.
The quad/surround community is small and there is no reason for everyone not to get along. That would make me happy. Really. But alas, there have been a handful of times here when that was not possible.
None of us know how long we'll all be around, and that goes for this place as well.
