More remarkably, as I scoped other RAO threads I discovered
that the dysfunctional individuals I had encountered in the
past were still swapping insults and accusations. Even more
weird, those assorted insults and accusations had not
changed one iota. The same claptrap as ever. It was as if I
had only left for a day.

Totally agree. I couldn't believe it either when I looked in after 2
years (why, oh why did I do it?). I immediately went into a state of
deep depression at the realization that some adults are condemned to
perpetual pugilistic adolescence and haven't recovered since.

This situation caused me to do some additional snooping.
Over the past week I have been scoping various "discussions"
on RAO, and I cannot let this wonderful opportunity pass.
Yep, I am going to WRITE ANOTHER ARTICLE about the audio
newsgroup scene. I did it before, as some of you no doubt
remember (that piece appeared in the Audiophile Voice, and I
still treasure memories of the consternation that resulted),
and now I am going to do it again. You people deserve
another article.

If the original article can still be found on the net I'd be grateful
for the address, Howard.
