[Vintage-Audio] Tube PIONEER Drawing or service infoneeded..

Gary, 	

No offense intended here, so please do not read any into this.	

It is very annoying for those of us who are blind, or use a screen reader with
synthetic speech for a print handicap, to listen to multiple punctuation marks.
The screen reading software looks for a 'period' to end a sentance, pauses for
the proper amount of time as dictated by the English language (twice the pause
of a comma), and then starts the next sentence. When someone runs sentences
together with a string of periods, there is no pause. This makes following the
train of thought very difficult. 	

While you did not do this, others also use triple ? or triple , in their posts.
We who use synthetic speech with a screen reading program are forced to listen
to them. This gets annoying after a short while. 	

Please, all of you, do not use multiple punctuation marks for emphasis or
sentence delineators. One works just fine. 	

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. It may be easy on the eyes, but
it is painful to the ears.          	

DBF
