I've read the OP's objection to Forums several times and cannot
understand either it or how he thinks specialist forums differ from
this one.

For a start, this is *not* a forum. It's a newsgroup. Text only, no
pictures or binaries, and you may like to search for "usenet" on google
to find out what a newsgroup is.

Newsgroups can be used fairly easily using a text to speech program,
whereas the spaghetti html code on most forum pages means that a screen
reader can't be used, and the only way to use them is via a visual
interface, which is not an option for Brian.

Personally I've always found specialist forums very helpful, and very
tolerant of people who quite clearly join just to ask one question.

Yes they are all that, but if you want to get removed from the forum
quickly, try answering a question where you know the answer, especially
if your knowledge differs from the opinions of the moderators.

To Brian, if we were closer, I have an Akai 3 speed, 4 track machine,
but I am in Stoke-On-Trent, unfortunately. If they are on reels bigger
than seven inches, I know someone with a Revox, but he's a touch busier
than I am.
