You're exactly right.  And that's my whole point.  I see just as much as 
many, if not more at times, mail that really isn't "helpful" at all.  
Admittedly, this message might be one of those.  My point however, is 
that instead of having 20 people write back about how digital ain't 
analogue and never will be, we should just have a few people do the job.  
It always happens when someone asks something about non-analogue gear.

You're right.  Sorry for contributing to that with this post, but I'm 
just sick of the senseless posts as much as you.
