Easy to say, much harder for me to do. As I said, I would not want to
ruin the VCF-UK by having a flamewar, so the simplest thing to do would
be to keep away. Still, we'll see...
I'm imagining Tony showing up in an full body asbestos suit wielding a
flame thrower, cackling maniacally with gleeful laughter as he unleashes
fiery death upon the masses. I can see why he'd have reservations about
attending if the above is a likely scenario; but frankly, I'd really not
have figured him as the type to engage in this sort of grossly
destructive behavior. No, I'm sure it's only my imagination running
wild after having spend one too many years in Hollywood.
The worst I'd expect from the honorable Mr. Duell is that he'd skewer
someone for recklessly powering up vintage kit before properly checking
its power supply by plunging his multimeter probes into the miscreant's
chest... And rightly so!
