I personally can't stand the sight of Mana and wouldn't have it anywhere near my house if you paid me, but all the same I would like to add my voice to those who have advised caution before any drastic changes are contemplated or made. If Bub genuinely feels that his Mana stands are giving him the sound that he wants then it would seem a shame to change it. If it ain't broke, etc...

All the same I have read the comments JW made on the Mana forum and...well, it takes the breath away really. Quite apart from which he's probably breaking his own forum rules by talking about banned members! No disrespect to Bub but he doesn't strike me as the sort of bloke one might readily sympathise with - however JW's rantings were out of order and and IMHO Bub has a right to feel aggrieved.

Even if he held on to his Mana stands I find it hard to see how he could defend them as vociferously as he has in the past, under the circumstances, and I doubt this is the sort of situation that would sit well with him for any length of time.
