Welcome back to the naim forum....
we are pleased to welcome Richard Dane as an additional moderator of the Naim forum,many of you will know Richard and his vast experience of Naim which will be put to good use no doubt as well as keeping us all in line.

Thanks for the welcome Paul. And welcome back again Richard

Yes, good to have you back, Richard

Great to have Richard back ...

Seconded...glad to see you back, Richard!

Thirded

That's very sweet of you all and much appreciated. It feels like I've never been away, really...

Whichever way you cut it, Naim is, was, and I trust always will be, something special. And that goes for this forum too.

It's all about a passion for music. That's why Naim exists and why this forum exits, so we can all easily share our passion no matter where we may be. It's also why I'm here, and (hopefully) why all of you are here too.

It's good to be back.

That was an interesting apostrophe.

I'll say no more.

Thanks Adam... Quiet night?

A good start - moderated already!

Is there a party?

I'll bring the Wyborowa and Apple-juice! [And glasses].

Hi Richard

Great to see you back

Trevor

Why the apostrophe?

Great to see you back Richard and I hope you're keeping well. I'm not sure you will have much to moderate though, because in Adam's class we're all good students (except for those who heckle from the back).

As a starter, could you please remind everyone the difference between loose and lose?

Thanks count.d!

Yup, Adam has been keeping things on a good even keel so hopefully I'll have more time to contribute in a more positive way.

As for the lose/loose question, this one seems to get quite a few people upset. No need. There's now a web page that unravels the mystery. If such grammatical errors offend, then I suggest members gently direct the "offender" to this site; http://losenotloose.com

Bl**dy Hell! Has the Even Keel been withdrawn already? First the Aro Keel, now the Even Keel!

I can't keep up with this at all, at all.

Hey Richard, looks like Stephen sold enough Nait XS lately to hire you back! It's good to see you around again.

Bye.
