A psychologist's view of Hi-Fi fetishism
"Mark" wrote in message ... Do you know all that stuff for fact or is it a characterisation? I'll start at the beginning. Philthy here has a hobby business and as such under Australian taxation law is not registered for GST which means his turnover is less than A$50,000 per year. Where he lives and the rents he would paying makes for a very meagre lifestyle if this was his only income. Remember we are talking turnover not profit here. So it is an "educated guess" yes. see http://tinyurl.com/3bfrze As a characterisation, it may be a little over the top! ....but don't let me stop you. Please remember that I and several of my friends in business here have had this guy has *PAY* for company searches on our businesses and then he has proceeded to malign and libel anyone else attached to those businesses in cluding family members. The only thing I object to is any derogatory allusion to his source of income. If Phil is suffering from chronic clinical depression, as I suspect he is, he deserves financial support. The alternatives are worse! I have no objection to Philthy receiving government assistance *except* he needs to forced to keep on his medications and/or institutionalised without internet access! Also please do not misunderstand my intention here, I am not in anyway belittling anyone who genuinely needs support *BUT* I am having a shot at Philthy who constantly carries on as if he is a grand entrepreneur and has a thriving electronics business. As you have no doubt seen he is constantly having a shot at *anyone* that has a mere glimmer of success attached to them and if in doubt please do a Google Groups search? As a pensioned disabled carer, the only source of income I have is from that pension and the only thing that keeps me happy and is music, glorious music. My sincerest sympathies here and am very pleased you can find happiness in music. I believe in genuine cases as yourself the social services are in no way doing enough to help and support people in your situation. I only have a problem with people recieving benefits they are not entitled to. BTW do a Google Groups search on philthy's name and "Autistic" http://tinyurl.com/ysnxme I also apologise in advance for the potential distress you may have in reading Philthy's posts in that link. I make it 836! So please tell me how much he really cares for the sufferes of this condition or the people engaged in their care? Or the numerous times he has told people to "get cancer and die"? I personally find it very difficult to to feel any sympathy for this sad little man and no hardship is too bad to befall him. The same goes for my dependant, who is bed ridden. I've built him his own remote controlled Hi-Fi and entertainment system sitting at the end of his bed. The necessity to do so on a small income is what compels me towards DIY. There will be enornous amout of good quality second hand gear coming on the market as manufacturers push for ever more featured gizmos ;-) Just think what a Playstation 2 will be worth in about 2 weeks ;-) As entertainment box with networking abilty, DVD/CD replay and a HD it may be something to think about perhaps. So finally Mark if I have offended you in any way please accept my apology as it was not my intention to disparage anyone except Philthy. Cheers TT |

So finally Mark if I have offended you in any way please accept my apology as it was not my intention to disparage anyone except Philthy. Cheers TT Mark, Everything Terry has said is the truth. If anything I think he has painted an optimist's view of Phil and tried to see the positive side of him. For years I've been a victim of Phil. First it was just a fax message to my workplace, then numerous posts all over various newsgroups claiming I'm a sex tourist and a paedophile. Nothing could be further from the truth. Then came the harassment on Usenet of my business partner. Phil published his personal details all over several newsgroups and still got it wrong by not ensuring the so called "facts" were indeed up to date. He published links to our website making all sorts of unfounded accusations about the nature of our business.. Next he had someone do several visits to my home. Phil reporting on Usenet enough detailed information such as my address, what was growing in my front garden behind a brick wall etc to be convincing enough he had someone stalking me. Bear in mind I live in Perth - Phil lives in Sydney. Anyone going to this extreme to get some else to spy on someone thousands of kilometres away has (IMHO) some serious unresolved issues. In short the guy is a crackpot. As Terry has said, perhaps to be pitied, but IMHO he's positively dangerous. Stalking today - more serious crime tomorrow. All you need to do to get Phil's undivided attention is to openly disagree with something he has posted on UseNet. Doesn't matter what it is about. Within three posts in a thread you will be accused of being a "****wit", quickly followed by all manner of abuse. Then if you are really unlucky you may start to receive the same degree of unwanted attention some of us have had to endure. The above examples are but merely a small sample of what Phil is capable of. :-( Cheers, Alan |

I know he used it often but 836 times! This is one sick puppy we're dealing with here :-(. Cheers TT |

I'll provide the same service, free of charge. In fact I'll even pay him if he signs a document exonerating me from any legal libility & agreeing to my euthanasing him, albeit V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W-L-Y by numerous heavy blows to the head & body :-). ruff |

He's off hiding in sci.electronics.design where they are discussing a
design of his: this involves abusing university electronics engineers and respected authors of electronics texts. |

I'm not going to chase him; just give him a hard time when he visits us here and then he'll go somewhere else where the pickins is easier :-). ruff |

"Mark Harriss" wrote in message ... : Although he does : seem to be scarce around here at the moment, maybe it's working. Several reasons for that. He is losing an argument, he is being proved wrong, he is copping what he gives out and finally no one is taking any of his bullying! So like the little girl he is he has run away and hid ;-) Oh and the Moon is waning ;-) Cheers TT |

"Arny Krueger" wrote: "Richard Crowley" wrote in message "David Grant" wrote ... Interesting article. I work at an A/V consulting firm and we have a relatively hard-core audiophile on staff. He recently brought in a Monster power-conditioner and demoed it for some of the staff in the office, stating afterwards that we should begin specifying it on all our projects. While such equipment can help in specific situations he obviously didn't understand the theory behind its operation. Fortunately he's a great salesman (his position is sales) and he doesn't do any design work. Salesmen seem to be more easily duped by other salesmen. You'd think they would be more clued-in to the deceptive practices, but maybe they are in denial. :-) IME, salemen as a rule just don't know any better. Only a few of them have a strong background in tech. I'm not sure this is *always* a bad thing, as one can know too much to be an effective salesman. Might blurt out the _truth_. |
