James,

You don't get it at all. John Watson and I have no problem with each other whatsoever. I'm "banned" from the Mana forum through choice and I'm also pretty sure that if I emailed JW to say I wanted to post there again, he'd let me in immediately.

His phone number is still stored in my phone and I'm very tempted to use it to have a chat with him - someone whom I regard as a decent decent bloke with a lot of integrity to boot.

My stance on stands has bugger all to do with petty politics and a lot to do with how I want my system to sound.

If ever a "newbie" posted on a stands issue I'd recommend Mana without hesitation if I thought it appropriate to his/her system.

I have no issue with Mana or any of its disciples including you.

I'd actually like to meet you one day on the condition that you wouldn't trash me and my home the way you did with Marco.
