Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass?



I've never built one, or heard them but this kit looks fun as hell, and includes everything you need:

Ah, how I used to enjoy Audiogon, having been a member since 2001. Things used to be shared in a nice, positive manner, threads had meaning and life was merry. Though I usually avoid Audiogon's Forum as it tends to be more negative than positive at times, I have been intrigued by the postings of Mr. Squires. He does state that he has posted positive threads. Frankly, with approximately 289 postings / threads by Mr. Squires I have not the time to read them, as I have not the time, even though I am retired. In Audiogon, the "High End Community", I would think that the enjoyment of music would be the thing that takes up most of our (collectively speaking) time. It seems that the equipment and even some "sniping"  is becoming the center of many postings. As my father once said, (and this is a quote) " Verbosity wastes a portion of the reader’s or listener’s life.”  So, with all these postings, replies, "trolling", more postings, I have a difficult time taking the member who started the original post somewhat seriously. 289 postings is a lot. I have no qualms with people seeking help, or an occasional comment about something they have experienced, but to talk about building something, then have several good people responding only to then say it is a project that he has not the time for, well, then there is that wasting of the reader's time and perhaps even good will. I believe wiser people than me have addressed the virtues of speaking less than more as it does tend to lend credibility to the party who speaks only when making a point or addressing an issue now and then. I for one, am going to avoid this forum and look to the one on US Audio Mart. Things seem to a tad more calm there and less "emotional".
And it appears to me after reading some of Mr. Squire's postings that he has no love for anything Nelson Pass related so while reading the whole posting I was waiting for the bomb to drop in the attempt to destroy a piece of Pass equipment. Odd...
