Of course it is possible that you are all mates............

You got it! We are all mates from Croydon, and we gather here to play
out our llittle audio fantasies. I (aka "Shovels", because I "Shovel"
so much TRUTH in people's faces.... get it?) play the role of the
tweak freak audio guru witch doctor (who can take a $1,000 system and
turn it into a $10,000 system with about $10 worth of materials, and a
million dollars worth of audio magic). Mike McKelvy (aka "Nyob the
Yob", aka "duh-Mikey") plays the role of the spec-head (Who can take a
$10,000 system and turn it into a $500 system, with some careful
speaker positioning and room treatments). Westpase (aka "Westface" aka
"anonymous troll) plays Usenet's first and only "audio gunslinger".
He can shoot his six-gun cannons off as well as he shoots off his
ignorant mouth. And by gum, you best not disagree with him about any
audio point, because he'll fill you full of virtual buckshot, faster
than you can say "ABX comparator". Trevor Wilson (aka "Trevor The
Energizer Bunny Of Rage") plays the role of the maniacal rageaholic
Australian dimwit (actually, he's the only one not actually playing a
role). Dave Weill (aka "Garbage Boy") plays the role of the ignorant
clown troll who thinks he's a genius (IOW, entertainment value).
Arnold "Freddy" Krueger (aka "Arny Krapper") plays the role he was born
to play; the wanna-be engineer, who spent his life wishing he was an
engineer, and criticizing every audiophile engineer that ever was or
will be, on newsgroups which he has all but been banned from. George
Middius (aka "Mork From Ork").... well, Middius is our own little Buck
Rogers, who lives in a planet unto himself and doesn't even pretend
to know anything about audio. But he plays the role of your little
ankle-biting brother that's always hanging around being a pest, but
you have to take him with you, because your mother made you promise to
keep an eye on him. He doesn't really have any "bite" behind anything
he says but watch out... if you're not careful, he may gum you to
death, until your ankles are raw and swollen. Or at least gross you out
to mortification by way of drool and slobber.
