I'm just curious. I just did a search of r.a.o. going
back at least eight years. Thousands and thousands of
'objectivist' posts by Mr. Krueger, nob, and others.

How does one search for "objectivist" posts?

Have these thousands of posts, representing hundreds and
thousands of man hours, been to any effect?

The strongest effects of of my posts have been on me. I've had to put
together quite a bit of knowlege about audio, in order for me to make many
of those posts. In some cases these posts were made up of bits of audio that
I knew, but had not put together in a more logical way. In other cases, I
made posts by finding new bits of information, primarily by searching
google, and putting them together with what I already knew.

Has anyone ever actually changed their mind on how they
think about audio based on what they've read here?

I've certainly changed my thinking about audio based on what I've posted
here.

Sometimes Arny would step into it with guys like JJ and Zelniker and
there would be some things to learn about audio bantered back and forth.

Actually Zelniker never really posted here very much, and most of those few
posts were highly uniformative. I just did a quick search with google and
came up with under 200 hits for RAO posts by Zelnicker. In contrast a simple
search for RAO posts by "jj" came up with almost 9,000 posts.

Some of those discussions were highly technical and
difficult to always follow... but it was interesting and
sometimes revealing.

Yup those were the days that there were actually posts about audio that had
relevant technical content. In contrast to those almost 9,000 posts by jj,
there are over 5,000 posts that mention "krooborg" and almost 9,000 posts
that mention "borg".

IOW RAO has been overrun with childish name-calling by the Middius and his
crowd.

Those days are long gone.
