Neither for me. I speak my mind too easily. But on one occassion, speaking to Ron Stevenson at Neve's manufacturing plant in Kelso, Scotland who had got wound up over an error generated by the IT Dept on one of my projects, he did end up finally asking if I'd been to charm school !

This time, you twisted the thread from "how to set up a LS9 quickly" to "Graham mixes 6 bands in one evening". -- Joe Kotroczo kotroczo(a)mac.com
