Apologies and thanks

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

Firstly apologies for numerous off topic posts.

 

Secondly, I have considered un-subscribing from the list recently, as from a Home Automation perspective it is more than a little hard-core for me - Phil will tell you, I've got four X10 dimmers, 3 drapeboss motors, and a solenoid door latch on my Yale - not exactly HA, but it does make life in a wheelchair a little easier :) A PC based HA server with an iPAQ (which came back from a repair today in 4 working days, to remove dust under the screen, and fix the stylus silo - I also dropped it and cracked the case by the record button - new screen, new system board, and new back half of the case all under warranty - PLUS it has a new serial number so the warranty now runs out 2 years after I bought it), or my soon to be delivered Sony Vaio Picturebook (http://www.sonystyle.com/vaio/picturebook/glamour.htm) as a client might persuade me to install some more toys. 

 

However, I really do feel that I've become part of a community (even during the occasional .mp3 fight with Mark :) ) and would miss you all if I did leave. I belong to half a dozen mailing lists, and frequent a dozen or so groups on the Usenet on a regular basis. This is the only list where I genuinely feel I'm talking with friends, and I think the numerous off topic posts made by all of us on occasion is a symptom of this. It doesn't happen anywhere else for fear of "Net nazis" pouncing on posters.

 

Apart from that it is one of the best PC support forums on the 'net!

 

I do feel I've got some expertise in some areas, so I'll stick around and contribute where I can.

 

And if anyone finds themselves passing through Surrey and wants to find out what real home cinema sounds like, they'll always be welcome.

 

Tim.
