Brother Horace the Endlessly Exclusionary whined: Howard Howard Howard "Howard Howard Howard" Ferstler Ferstler Ferstler clowned: You inability to prove your previous contention is acknowledged, tweako. You want proof? "I am a professional audio clown." -- H. Ferstler, RAO, 2004 I am an idiot. I think you need to go back to clown school. You're not supposed to smash the pie into your own face. |

A final question would be: do we want deluded people polluting the hobby? You seem to have no objection to Krooger ****ting all over Usenet. But then, your idea of a "hobby" is dusting off 30-year-old tomes in the library and rehashing ancient shell games perpetrated by your clay-footed idols. When are you going to renounce your sockpuppet following, Clerkie? |

Stupidborg confesses he's overwhelmed by the complexities of the modern world. When are you going to renounce your sockpuppet following, Clerkie? Show us how to do it, George. The simpler something is, the more difficult for you to understand it. Try saying this, Retardoborg: "I renounce the support, affinity, and/or alliance of anonymous sockpuppets." My main point being that without them, you and Ferstler would have zero supporters on Usenet. Even Mikey the Bug Eater has taken to posting under a phoney name, probably out of shame at your disgustingness and Ferstler's clownishness. The rest of your and Clerkie's pathetic band of apologists are all cowardly anonyrodents. torrie****s -- anonymous coward. Stynchblob -- anonymous coward. Lionella la Salope -- anonymous coward. Not to mention your own dalliance with sockpuppeting in the recent past. |

Show us how to do it, George. watch the obfuscation begin The simpler something is, the more difficult for you to understand it. Not at all George. Let's start with the possibility, no near certainty that despite all the lies and half-truths, there is no such real person as George M. Middius. IOW, you yourself are a sockpuppet. Try saying this, Retardoborg: "I renounce the support, affinity, and/or alliance of anonymous sockpuppets." You're not answering the question in a meaninful way, are you Middius? My main point being that without them, you and Ferstler would have zero supporters on Usenet. My main point being that first and foremost Middius, you yourself are most likely an anonymous sockpuppet. My second point would be that you seem to be very concerned with ill-defined entities called "supporters". That contrasts with most normal human beings who can actually post on Usenet without worrying about what supporters are and why we should be worried about them. Even Mikey the Bug Eater has taken to posting under a phoney name, probably out of shame at your disgustingness and Ferstler's clownishness. Middius, you've got me confused with someone who is as obsessive about Usenet posters and as dependent on being part of a mob as you are. The rest of your and Clerkie's pathetic band of apologists are all cowardly anonyrodents. torrie****s -- anonymous coward. Stynchblob -- anonymous coward. Lionella la Salope -- anonymous coward. Let's say that all of those posters, real, imaginary, sockpuppets, whatever would disappear forever in the next hour. Do you seriously think that would mean *anything* at all to me? Not to mention your own dalliance with sockpuppeting in the recent past. More proof Middius that not only do you obsess over that which is meaningless, you obsesss over things that never ever happened. Let's have a quick review of sockpuppetry, Middius. One common reason to employ sockpuppets is because one is afraid to associate one's postings with one's true identity. A good example of this is you Middius, who continue to decline to properly identify yourself publicly. Certainly after your HE2005 debacle, there is no question in any reasonble person's mind that I'm perfectly willing to have my real self closely identified with my Usenet persona. A second common reason to employ sockpuppets is because one is afraid to express opinions that are uniquely theirs. Cowardly people such as you Middius commonly employ sockpuppets to "me too" their own opinions. Certainly after your HE2005 debacle, there is no question that I'm perfectly willing express my opinions in person to a room that is full of people who are known to be highly critical of my opinions. Why then would I bother with sockpuppets in the relatively safe context of Usenet? |

So this is what it's like to have **** where your brains should be. When are you going to renounce your sockpuppet following, Clerkie? Show us how to do it, George. Try saying this, Retardoborg: "I renounce the support, affinity, and/or alliance of anonymous sockpuppets." You're not answering the question in a meaninful way, are you Middius? Poor Arnii. The simpler something is, the more difficult it is for you to understand it. As an aside, why have you reverted to garbaging up your posts by mangling line breaks? Several times, you boasted about your clever fix of some utility program (shareware, no doubt). Now you're back to your slovenly ways. I recall your explanation to Devil of this aspect of your ****fulness. You tried denying the facts of your bad behavior, then you belittled those who point it out, and you conclude by asserting it's "not a problem". A rational person wonders how you are able to function in a work environment, since you refuse to accept criticism, refuse to modify your behavior, and refuse to learn new techniques and technology. Oh wait, I forgot -- you DON'T function in a work environment. You subsist on a little computer repair work and your disability insurance payments. Of course you can't be expected to understand personal responsibility -- you're one of the neediest, the ones who are supported by the tax dollars of the gainfully employed. It may not be your fault that you're unable to contribute to society, but it is your fault that after all these years, you continue to be a disgusting piece of ****. Congratulations on avoiding even the smallest amount of responsibility, Arnii. Ferstler thinks the world of you, and we all know what that's worth. ;-) |

It's not the last word in driving excitement, but it is inexpensive to buy and run, offers a good view of the road and has lots more stuff (A/C, anti-lock brakes, stereo) for the price than the competition. Whether or not you like the looks (I do), the xA is way more stylish than the Echo it's based on. For old, I still have my '71 Volvo. Stephen |

Gee Middius, its like you are such a sterling example of how to accept criticism, modify your behavior and learn new techniques and technology. I've seen zero evidence of you accomplishing any of those things. You subsist on a little computer repair work and your disability insurance payments. Case in point Middius would be your ongoing delusions that I'm getting disability payments, or that my computer business is as limited as you seem to think it is. Since how one performs in a work environment is so important to you Middius, why don't you give us some straight answers about your work experience, past and present. |

No, actually, it's likely that they would have done better. Speculation. At least Villchur had the balls to do the live-vs-recorded demos. I do not recall Quad doing anything like that. If you had ever really listened to some, you'd know why. There is more to audio than a flat, direct-field midrange signal. This assumes that the Quad midrange response was direct-field flat, of course. It might sound pleasant with some source materials, but when it comes to speaker sound I want a bit more proof than your opinion. By the way, I did listen to a 57 once. I thought it was very clear in the midrange, but that it was also so directional as to be a very difficult speaker to live with. It also had no bass to speak of. Howard Ferstler |

Maybe someone who knows more about this last one could confirm the correct details. Stephen |
