   I defend no one.   
      
   I simply pointed out to David that Andre has for   
   many years been one of the most helpful people on   
   audio Usenet. I cited an excellent example (which   
   David carefully snipped) of how I posted a question   
   about AC ripple in a valve p.s.u. At that time, I had a   
   slow internet connection with a very small inbox,   
   which bounced the Excel spreadsheet which Andre   
   sent me, so he copied it to diskette, and posted it to   
   me in  Finland.  He would take no recompense for his   
   time, the disk or the postage.   
      
   That's what I call helpful.
