OK, upon reading my message back, yes, perhaps it was a little too scathing, so I would like to publicly apologise for that. My aim was not to cause offense. The fact is, however, it took me a very long time to read your email in full, and about 90% of the information in there was you telling a story about your headphones, or making jokes about stuff (clipping like the holy mother vergin mary, sorry to you religious types etc, for example), which had little to do with the actual problem at hand.
I don't mind helping at all, in fact, that's one of the reasons I read the amount of the original message that I did, instead of deleting it, but when it takes me 3 minutes to read a message with a 20 second problem in it, I'm afraid, at 2 in the morning, I have a job covering my genetic sarcasm. You are right of course, this list is here to help, and I wouldn't be part of it if I didn't want to share what little I know about stuff, but the other side of that is, there are some people on here for whom music is their job, or if not, then they have some type of full time occupation, which means they may not have time to read a lengthy email. Anyways, In short, I'm genuinely sorry to have offended you, but perhaps try and keep a little more to the point when stating questions? I'm sure you're a great bloke to go to the pub with, but on a Q and A mailing list, my own personal view is that questions should be stream lined a little more. Of course, if you think I'm being way out of order, unreasonable, a moaning old git, or anything like that, feel free to ignore me. I know I can be a sarcastic, scathing, and cinical git at times. My girlfriend has a whole corner of vocabulary, spacifically for those types of occasions. And for my part, I'll try not to reply to emails at 2 o'clock in the morning, if I think there's a risk I'll upset anyone. Have a great day, and whoever it was who corrected me on why we don't need to worry about gains so much anymore, thank you very much, I never knew that, I will certainly try it.
