Yep.

Actually Dave in a philosophical way that sounds like "don't shoot me I'm the
just the piano man." And with the amount of heat hitting the net recently ala
"woe is the Amiga" it seems the appropriate defence.

Dave> There is NEVER one simple answer.

This is why I'm following up. I like this best of all your quotes! Great line.

BTW, for Dave and others in case its not obivous, I'm supporting Dave here. I
kind of felt/still_feel he's an over_calledon/under_appreciated_by_some Amiga
kind of guy.

By the way Dave if I've misread you're reply here I apologise.

Oh and yeah, this isn't a flame IMHO of the original poster. It's just a sort
of informal remark that this bloke (good connotations Oz style) works hard to
do all he does. I think we call on him a lot.
