Hello, Knuckleheads. I just thought I would fill the group

**Huh? What do I make of this:?

Dear group:


OK, after writing fast as hell this afternoon I have managed
(I hope) to respond to all of the messages dealing with my
previous comments. (No doubt some of you are typing
additional replies as I type this final message.) I needed
to do this in order to duck charges that I quit on the fly
and under pressure from you clowns and ran for cover, as if
a sane mane escaping a lunatic asylum is running away from
anything.


Yep, this is it. I stopped sending magazine drafts off to
publishers last month and will not do any more commentary
columns or product reviews. I also notified various record
distributors and companies that I will no longer be
reviewing recordings. I will get a few more record reviews
off to the publisher, because I still have a stack sitting
in my main listening room needing review. Also, some of my
product-review articles are in the pipeline and there is no
stopping them from getting into print. (Why should I? The
work is done.)


Last week I purchased a blood-pressure monitor for home use
(doctor's suggestion) and discovered that whenever I work on
magazine articles (those last few record reviews) my BP
rises. The very thought of receiving additional products to
review also pushes it up. It rises even more when I deal
with the nitwits here on RAO. Well, who needs that?


I leave the field to you people and to those whose world
continues to revolve around their hi-fi rigs. As of now, my
world no longer does. Finally, after all these years I am
going to enjoy the hardware I have on hand for what it can
do to entertain more than ever.


And now, on to reading those hundreds of old-fashioned books
I need to finish before my burial.
