It would appear that James D has beaten me to it, I was going to suggest putting Mr Rix (I assume with an article like this one he is indeed related to Brian Rix ! ) in contact with James and inviting him to one of his excellent seminars whereupon after James` presentation Mr Rix could show the audience the error of their ways, forget their `scopes and the previous couple of hours talk and simply "plug in, fix`n go " if only, if only.
Please someone invite this gentleman into their workshop for a week, he obviously spends far to much time in cloud cuckoo land.
PS when are you next in Devon James?

Best regards Roger Jordan.
