Howard Takes His Break
Hey, Suckers,
I am not actually planning to give up on RAO for the long term, but it is likely that I will. I need to get some other things done (several speakers to review), and, to tell the truth, you lunatics are getting on my nerves. Debating some of you is like arguing with a telephone pole. No, worse, because a telephone pole does not retort with innuendo and baloney. The last time I left for a few months (to do major home-improvement work) I did not miss RAO a bit. Getting away probably lowered my blood pressure by ten points. I should have never come back, but I made the mistake a while back of dropping in to take a look around, and the inanities I read here (the same as usual, as if I had never left at all, and written by the same people) just bugged the hell out of me. I should not let the opinions of idiots and jerks bother me all that much, but for some reason they do. A few of you are the most demoralizing group of people I have ever encountered. Many of you are microcosms that define just what is wrong with America these days. Arny is right: most tweako high enders have mental problems. And several of my engineering buddies are right too: I should stop playing in this sewer, because there is no way to clean it. Adios, audiophiles. Howard Ferstler |

Why worry about what others think? Buy and listen to what you want.
Explain, if you must, once, clearly. Let others go on their way. |

You can always scrape a barnacle from the bottom of a boat, but can you do that with Howard? ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

There may be only one other chap who will cling more tenaciously to a losing position than ol' Uncle Fester, so a jackhammer may be in order to dislodge the stuck on pasty-faced Depends wunderkind.

I came back a week later (the 14th), posted some responses, and will get back to you guys again some time down the line. Maybe. Howard Ferstler |
