I agree. Andy and I became friends in the early 80s and have kept in touch since. He's a decent, reliable and brave man (witness his work as a was correspondent), and to dissmiss him as a person (or even as a presenter) because he happens not to play your records, or music you happen to like, is beneath the standards I expected here. He's not unique in his current problems, as many here will recognise if they're honest. Time to put this thread to sleep.
