Even Tony who has so often contributed valuable
information seems
to be spending more of his time preaching and arguing his various
gospels lately...
Although I read every message that appears here, I've found few threads
recently that I can really contribute to. Of the current threads, I have
no real knoweldge of RSX, I've never used CDOS (and I know little of disk
imaging programs), and so on. Now, get a good hardware/repair thread
going, nand it'll be difficult to stop me ;-)

True enough; most threads don't interest me either, and your comprehensive
contributions on the hardware side (and occasionally even software) are greatly
appreciated; thank you for giving us as much time on those as you do.
However, by now we're all pretty well acquainted with your philosophy
of hardware ownership, maintenance and repair, not only of computers
but automobiles, cameras, watches & clocks, machine tools etc. as well.
Life is short and there are so many things that need your restoring & repair
skills; why waste any of it on preaching to the choir or the unenlightened
foolish ones, as the case may be...
