Thanks for the tip, joeyboygolf

I have to say Chris is usually extremely helpful and friendly. Maybe just a bad day at the office....

Cheers

I have removed this post as Graham has modified his - other Members took offence to a statement made by Medogsfat (Chris) before I had even posted anything!

I get it, missed this

If my boss asked me to sort out what is obviously a personal matter then I would politey remind him where my job ends - unless this is part of a paid remit in work time from the company owner of course. BTW there is absolutely no indication from the OP whether he is young or old downtrodden or simply lazy himself. That's what happens when one makes assumptions or relies on appearances, invariably assumptions or appearances turn out to be wrong!

Hardly worth worrying about is it, nothing I have written is contentious or will be provacative in return, actually see the point Chris is making, everything else is over my head, life is too short.

I would wonder why you would feel the need to respond at all, seeing as you evidently have nothing to add.

If you're talking about me, I and others have to read this kind of crap and it's not the first time!

Leslie, please note that Chris (medogsfat) had commented on Graham's initial post - it has nothing to do with me whatsoever and it appears that Graham has mistaken it for something to do with me and Chris - the comment Chris made initially was made before I had even posted and was directed at the OP rather than me!  

Then I must apologize to Chris and read posts like these more carefully. On the other hand it bothers me reading posts with such kind of discussions or comments! We have been seeing these kind of discussions before remember...and don't forget, this is an international forum.

In regard to KingOf Snakes: "Hardly worth worrying about is it, nothing I have written is contentious or will be provacative in return, actually see the point Chris is making, everything else is over my head, life is too short."

I can't disagree more KingOf Snake.

My June 9, 2012 1:51 AM excoriation of site moderator Medogsfat / Chris's comment of:

 "Is your boss the laziest person in the world? Has he never heard of Google or using a telephone?",

in response to member Wiggster's simple question is, in my opinion, very much "worth worrying about". Furthermore,  I, personally, can find no reason in agreeing with you in your opinion that you "actually can see the point that Chris is making".

And his point is???

What I believe that some of those who contribute to the discussion on the BeoWorld Forum on a regular basis don't understand is that many of us who are members, are reluctant to contribute for fear of being criticized. Read this blog enough and one can easily come to the conclusion that any effort to field a question might result in being the recipient of an unnecessary and cruel comment. Let's face it, this forum is not about politics or religion or social issues. It is about something that we members resort to to help us forget about all of those contentious intrusions on our lives. There really is no need to go negative when discussing the delights that we extract from our Bang & Olufsen sound systems. And believe me, we DO need advice on occasion from those of you who know so much more then we about maintaining our vintage B&O!

Despite the fact that we live in the 'information age', I, as well as others, are somewhat uncomfortable putting ourselves out there via a post on a (in this instance) heavily visited web forum. Add to that some modicum of potential for an undeserved slap-down of criticism and negativity and I, many times, just decide to keep my comments and questions to myself.

In regard to Medogsfat / Chris' comment in response to Wiggster's question about where his boss could have his vintage B&O equipment adeptly repaired within his area of residence replied to with: "Is your boss the laziest person in the world? Has he never heard of Google or using a telephone?"; why would any member of this Forum, never mind a site moderator, suggest that this member 'engage in an exhaustive search of Google, or pick up a telephone'? Again, why the hell do you think we made the decision to join, and in many instances, PAY to be a member of this community??

Again, moderators have to be held to a higher level of accountability.

Medogsfat was totally out of line!
