He said "the industry". Now, with all your powers of observation, which
industry do you think he was referring to? The spectacly-making
industry, perhaps?

So, you BELIEVE you know what MY intention was? End of argument. Go and
play on the motorway.

I BELIEVED that he was referring to the RADIO INDUSTRY. I'm afraid I
know what I thought, and unless you literally can read my mind then you
haven't got a leg to stand on.

So, not only are you claiming YOU CAN READ MY MIND, but you are also
claiming YOU CAN READ ANDYP'S MIND AS WELL!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!

As you can read my mind, here's a test for you:

What is my magazine column going to be about in the forthcoming issue?
In particular, who is it criticising?

Sean, I answered his question in good faith. I freely admit that I
cannot read people's minds, and I don't believe in UFOs either, or
alien abductions -- they're for feeble-minded types. I thought he was
referring to the RADIO industry when he said THE industry, as you would
think he was referring to when we're on a digital radio newsgroup
discussing digital radio. Naa wot a mean, Harry?
