Hey BarryG ..

Let me see if I can help you out on this:

You wrote (in ref. to Scott's post about his hamfest tube acquisition 
experience):

"Why would anyone post this to the R390 list?"

Ans:  Because it's (a) amusing and, (b) highly relevant as pertaining to 
ballast tubes -- there may be more reasons.

"Too much time on your hands?"

Do you mean, as in time to waste criticizing other members' posts? 
Unfortunately, not every post can be as informative and erudite as your many 
contributions.  (However, I can't seem to find any in the archives.)

"Ashamed of your foolishness?"

Huh? -- Why? What foolishness? It was a fine post -- I plan on printing it 
in 48 pt Times New Roman and having it framed.  I'm darn proud of it. Best 
post I've read in a long time.  Yesssirreee.

"Who cares!"

I, for one.  Boosted my spirits hearing tell of someone scoring good ballast 
tubes for $2 a pop -- perfect justice considering the 6189's.

On the other hand, with all due respects, I don't care that you don't care, 
so please don't waste the bandwidth.

But ..... maybe I'm reading you all wrong -- Did you know what a TJ311M01 
is?  How about a 6189?  No?  Maybe that's the problem.  If so, you flunked 
the R-390A tube test, as well as the civility test.  (see the R-390 home 
page), whereas Scott gets an A++++++++++.

Hey, look, BarryG, let's be friends -- I'd be more than happy to help you 
out.  Which way did you come in? ;-)

Y'see, if that post bothered you so much, you could have replied privately 
to Scott and, being a gentleman as well as a scholar, he would have 
explained it to you -- privately.

Sincerest regards,
Barry NOT G -- _H_
