AGA is unique. A newbie has to learn to read the ankle biters,
stalkers, bushwhackers, and increase the killfile
contents daily ... but it can be a warm, dysfunctional family
style forum. Really. Steve is really one of the more talented
guys here who really knows equipment.
You just got off on a bad foot( no pun intended ) I think.

Steve C. revealed his character. HE got off on the bad foot.
"newbie" is an imbecilic term with zero validity or value. It's
a term used by the insecure and stupid to cover for the same and
worse.
Maj6th entered like a man and met with a sick dog. His note speaks
worlds about his civility. I call them hay8rz and long ago came to
realize that they don't "get" civility because they're low-lifes.
For that very reason I eschewed the effort early and found far more
personal amusement in denigrating the denigrators with outrageous
humor. They have absolutely no defense against it because their lack
of creativity is surpassed only by their humorless knuckle dragging.

Finally! Someone with a taste for hyperbole...
gawd, I hate emoticons... I want to strangle
the next Zwinky I see... but a simple semicolon/
close parenthesis might have saved some anguish.
This forum is populated by many folks that do
this for a living (not me!)... I always try to throw
them a bone, put in a recommendation for their
utility... especially to folks that have no clue
about amplifier internals. This one went wrong...
oh well... LGO.

Buddy, the chat rooms are down the hall. This Is Usenet.
Noobs get twinged. Grow some skin, and google around,
read the group, read some websites about your inquiry or
I guarantee, *especially* in an alt.heirarchy.group, that
you will get called for intellectual laziness, normally in the
form of a 'flame'. It's part of what makes these places
wild-and-wooly... we mostly like it like that.

You "didn't really expect to...be advised to take my amp
to a tech"? Really? *Really*-really? Forgive my incredulity...
by now, you should have noticed that all the 'helpful' folks
advocated the same thing.

Folk more experienced than me told you that if you simply pop tubes
in, you are going to get non-optimum results.
We deal with folks whose amps are *dead*... you just want
better sound, without having to do any work. This Gets Flamed...
you want me to treat you any differently?

Welcome to Usenet... I do regret the use of 'stupid'... it was
probably over the top. Next time I'll use 'ignorant', which
describes your situation more aptly.

Re: Open response to Stephen Cowell
You have some good points but maybe you could tone it down sometimes.
A curmudgeon's reputation for malevolence is undeserved. They're
neither warped nor evil at heart. They don't hate mankind, just mankind's
absurdities. They're just as sensitive and soft-hearted as the next guy, but
they hide their vulnerability beneath a crust of misanthropy. They ease the
pain by turning hurt into humor. . . . . . They attack maudlinism because
it devalues genuine sentiment. . . . . . Nature, having failed to equip
them with a servicable denial mechanism, has endowed them with astute
perception and sly wit.
Curmudgeons are mockers and debunkers whose bitterness is a symptom
rather than a disease. They can't compromise their standards and can't
manage the suspension of disbelief necessary for feigned cheerfulness. Their
awareness is a curse.
Perhaps curmudgeons have gotten a bad rap in the same way that the
messenger is blamed for the message: They have the temerity to comment on
the human condition without apology. They not only refuse to applaud
mediocrity, they howl it down with morose glee. Their versions of the truth
unsettle us, and we hold it against them, even though they soften it with
humor.
