I have a number of like-minded electronic hobbyist friends who also just
happen to enjoy listening to music. A lot. One thing that distinguishes me
from my immediate family is the pleasure I derive listening to instrumental
works. For example, my wife and daughter have no patience with music that
lacks vocals.

Heh! I noticed that, too.
Vocals bore me. I always thought I was the only one.

OTOH, I'm aware of postings on the NGs from people who claim that you, Arny,
have a certain predilection to minors for carnal purposes. I don't believe
most of the personal attacks appearing in NGs, and I hope that all that is
fiction and that you are unfortunately a victim of slander.

Nothing could be farther from the truth.

But if true, surely you might appreciate the irony that it would make you a
member of a "retrograde lunatic fringe," or worse . . . ?

Arny's a 'borg. He earned that title with honour.

Keeping irony alive,

In Arny-speak: "If irony killed...."
