Ferstler Says

[Howard Ferstler]

Hello, Goofballs,

Well, I stopped by for a while, read a little, and even
wrote a little, and I have to again conclude that 90% of all
high-end audio types are tight-assed, reality deprived
jerks.

I, for one, am glad that I have retired from the audio
journalism business and do not have to deal with the
insanity of it all. The audio hobby as serious business for
intelligent people is dead.

So, until I again become curious about the RAO lunatic
asylum, good by to you assorted tweako-freako, idiotic,
misguided, overkill spending, true-believing, yet to get a
life "audiophiles."

You all deserve each other.

Howard, last time you gave us your retirement notice, I said, wiith hope of
avoiding an accident,
"Don't let the door hit 'ya where the Lord split 'ya.
Now, however, it looks like you are crusin' for a brusin'.

One thing which you consistently fail to distingush between on this group is
the good, the bad, and the ugly. Permit me to enlighten you:
Arny Krueger = BAD UGLY SMART
Mikey McKelvy=UGLY UGLY STUPID
Howard Ferstler = BAD UGLY

Sander, Trevor, Ludovic, Lionel, George, Art, Kal, JA = GOOD.

Without these distinctions, your Great Opus is worthless trash.

He, are you writing the book:
"There must be sixty ways to leave your NG"

or something ?

May we understand that George belongs to the 10% ?

Harold is also deluded or demented. Here's the evidence:

I have always liked Arny's ideas. I think he is pretty
smart. You may quote me on that one, and I am sure some of
you will.

Harold does have a bit of self-awareness -- he knew this opinion would give
the impression he's retarded.

In order to be released from his vampiric existence, does Howard have to be
impaled with silver interconnects?

Exchanging thoughts through printed words with you and
your ilk is an excercise in futility. You and yours are basket
cases.

A nut in a basket.
