Paul has not AFAICS specifically stuck up
for the KX gates whatsoever - as he says himself, he was involved in
the development of their predecessor, the Mk1 slim gate. If you search
the archives you'll see that these new KX gates have not got a good
write up (I've no idea if the gates FCC has used on the GN are the
conventional Mk1 or the newer model as used at KX).

I think if you search the archives you'll see that I talked about it
before with Paul C, hence the 'not again' comment. I was led to believe
that Paul had been more involved than he was, but as I wasn't talking
in a professional journalist capacity (I am not working 24/7), perhaps
I didn't try and establish the real facts as hard as I should! Slap my
wrists by all means!

However, I am not having a go at Paul about the gates. I am not sure
why anyone should take a comment so personally - I didn't think he
designed or built them, nor installed them. I have used newsgroups
since the early 1990s and it's all about discussing things and sharing
opinions. People do, as a matter of course, disagree - but it's never
personal.

I think it's worth adding that usually, when someone replies to a
post, they're directing their comments at the group in general, rather
than specifically the poster of the post they're replying to. This is
often the case even when the reply seems rather direct.
