It is really sad that the unknown haunts you so much. Are you afraid of the dark too? That's why they do double blind tests, to overcome that fear. Confrontation therapy, as dr. Richman would probably put it :-) Can't really call it blind when they know what is being compared and already believe they will not hear a difference. The best names for it would be tunnel vision, rigidity and/or denial of ego-alien ideas or facts. Fears are actually well treated with Exposure Therapy, in which the phobic person "confronts" the object of the fear, but in a gradual, stepwise set of steps, while in a previously conditioned, relaxed status. The therapy procedure is called Systematic Desensitization and has been around for several decades. It has been used with many different types of phobias, including fear of flying, social phobias, sexual disorders based on performance anxiety, etc. Unfortunately for the objectivist propagandists, lack of motivation and closed mindedness eliminates any possibility of change for this extremely small and noneffective population.

Hey, Moron, Would you believe that The Encyclopedia of Recorded Sound that I helped to edit and also contributed to is now in print. I got my two-volume, 1200+ page, "editors" free copy yesterday. I am on the title page as the "technical editor," which is kind of a surprise. I did review all the technical articles and updated quite a large number of others that had been in the earlier edition. I also wrote a few new ones, and of course I did all of the biographical sketches of audio big wigs, plus some company histories. However, I think the people at Routledge did a heck of a lot more than I did. Perhaps 10% of the total material in the set was written or modified by me. Although many audio notables are in there, it is still primarily a music-oriented publication, with scads of bios of performers, plus a lot of recorded-music history. Your bio sketch is NOT in there, needless to say. The two-volume set lists for $225.00, which means that it will definitely be an academic or technical library item. Hmmm. Isn't repeated spamming of a Usenet newsgroup like this grounds for getting kicked off one's ISP, or something similar? Boon |

Howard Ferstler said: And, Mr. George "nobody" Middius, I am again published - and in a very big way this time. Haw, haw, haw...... Earlier you said "it is not my book". Well, well, well........ You obviously do not know much about encyclopedia-type books, but typical audio freakos really do not "know" much about anything, anyway. I edited all the technical articles, and wrote many additional ones. I also wrote all of the biographical articles about audio notables, including recording engineers, design engineers, and audio journalists, and also wrote many of the manufacturer histories. The title page has the primary editor and me listed, with the other contributors listed elsewhere. While I certainly did not write the majority of the material, I would guess that out of the 1,200+ page total perhaps 120 - 150 pages would be by me if you pulled all the articles out and combined them into a single text. Now that is really not a book-sized contribution, particularly when you consider that my first four books were each in the 250 to 450 page category. However, I discovered that writing biographical sketches from data sheets submitted by dozens of audio notables was more time consuming than what I had to deal with when working on my four previous books. Hence, the amount of research material involved with this particular project added up to nearly as much time as what I did with each of my four previous books. So, while it is not "my" book the way the first four were, it is certainly something that reflects my efforts. Incidentally, doing all that biographical research on audio notables allowed me to make contact with people you tweakos can only dream of corresponding with. Howard Ferstler |

From: Howard Ferstler Date: 10/26/2004 5:48 PM Pacific Standard Time Message-id: The best you can do is fantasize about your system and upscale gear. No, I own it. I listen to it. I enjoy it. It's sour grapes for you. I do not think so, Clyde. My guess is that you have some good amps (no big deal there) and some fairly good speakers poorly set up in a rather poor room. I also am pretty sure that you are absolutely ignorant of the response linearity of that system in that room. In addition, I am pretty sure that you are not in any way going to do some proper measurements, because you are afraid of what they might reveal. I am a hobbyist like so many others. It must suck to have mere hobbyists like me expose you as a fraud. Expose me as a fraud? Funny, I do not feel any heat. Just where has your exposing job caused me any grief? You are as deluded about exposing me as you are about audio gear. The RAO crowd has about as much impact on audio as a pea shooter would have on an M1A1 tank. You seriously overrate yourselves. The two-volume set lists for $225.00, which means that it will definitely be an academic or technical library item. IOW a low volume seller. Yep. That is the way it is with academic books, slick. So how do the sales stack up against the best selling acedemic books Clyde? Still low eh? Let us know when sales hit double figures. The book has been out for a week. Give it time. I am sure that Routledge knows how to market books. The fact is that you tweakos have been trumped by a guy who has published four books on audio and record reviewing and has been importantly involved in the production of an encyclopedia dealing with the history of recording. You have a bunch of weird audio beliefs and having a seriously published author make fun of you just has to have you guys beside yourselves with frustration. Good. That's the object.

Congradulations (sic). An audio accomplishment you can't even reasonable dream of, Scott. How is writing about audio an "audio" acomplishment? It is, if anything, a journalistic acomplishment. It is however just about the most entry level acomplishment there is for a journalist. Howard has acomplished next to nothing. He has achieved the bare minimum to even call himself a writer. But what kind of a writer is he? One that shamelessly plagairizes advertising copy and deliberately corrupts data in his published DBTs. Does it get any lower for a journalist? If this is the case, gasbag, why am I still going strong? If you have any clout at all you will do something about my bad faith and get me out of the journalism business. Or are you just another RAO gasbag? BTW Scott, why not tell the nice folks what your occupation is, that is if you're not too embarrassed to admit it in public.
