Sebo: Yes you were wrong, because I dared have a different opinion you posted a sarcastic reply that you could always tell the difference between a Repairer & Collector. I.e in your opinion I'm a Repairer not Collector.
Vacuumlover: Until the Owner of the site tells me to leave or I decide to do so of my own accord then sorry but I'll be staying, without reference to you or any other member.
Turbo500: I have no problem with people using they're restored items, I use many of mine, some daily while Repairing other Vintage equipment. Originally I made a reply to a question asked on the forum, Because I dared have a different opinion to others I got a sarcastic reply from Sebo_lover about my being a Repairer not a Collector & I responded to that.
As for the rest of it: Yes I do find it very strange that people will write long paragraphs about the way they love the sound of grit travelling up a tube. Or that they love emptying a cleaner bag, or the sound a brush roll makes etc strange to say the least.
If that offends peoples sensibilities then so be it.
But I think it's time to let it drop now, don't you ?.
