Some, but not all. Faruz has definitely improved in that regard since he
joined the list. Now he just needs to moderate his exuberance a bit, and
other people need to get carried away a bit less when following up to both
Faruz and flames against him.

This subject has been done to death; I suggest we let it drop until the next
time someone infringes someone else's sensibilities. Then we can have a nice
little flame war again to let off steam.

Ob BBC: I need to get some disc drives for my second Beeb. I have an 8271
controller, so I believe I need FM encoding drives rather than MFM. Does
anyone know if all drives which do MFM will also do FM? Can I just rescue any
old PC 5 1/4" drive and use that, or will I have to search for a really
ancient one?
