I don't know anything about the threads involved and I have no dog in the hunt on any issues or views anyone involved may have taken. I think this forum is a wealth of information and there are so many great people here. I've spent countless hours researching and posting about amps, cabs, tubes, etc and have made some great friends here. My only contribution to this discussion is about the loss of content.
We all know how often people come and ask the same questions. We regularly refer them to take some time and search things out, knowing they will come across discussions from days past. To lose the history of a member who many feel made long lasting contributions over the years (regardless of current issues or conflicts), is just difficult for me to understand.
As a member of this community, I felt to express my view.
This is Ned's forum and he can and will do as he see's fit.
