I find the whole childish bickering and sly backhanded comments very distasteful. Its tantamount to school yard bullying. Can we please draw a line under all of this and let bygones be bygones. It's the start of a new year, lets all try and get along. If your not happy with someone's post then just ignore it...

Well said Lee.  I have also recently bought a magnificent system from this member which I could not have obtained in the condition it's in, nor for the price I paid anywhere else so am grateful to him and for some of his restoration threads.  I haven't always agreed with him on this forum but some of the posts are starting to get out of hand to such a degree that I have contacted the owner of the Forum to discuss the problem with him.

In addition, I understand, the member you are referring to has had enough of the grief he has received and has given up on Beoworld despite me trying to convince him to rise above it.  Another nail in the coffin for vintage collectors/restorers.  Fortunately Martin has returned but unless this unnecessary language and feelings abound, others will follow out of the door and Beoworld will be a lesser place for it.

Dave.

I fully agree with all of you ! I'm a personal friend of this member, I met him here in the forum and came many time to see him personally. We discussed hours about B&O and many other things. Considering him as a reseller is unfair and far far away from what he is.

Best regards to all of you and PEACE !
