Robert Morein jumped into the pigpen and showed he can be as dumb and
irresponsible as anyone else on the group:

The person who started this thread is an obvious FORGER, Robert. I
thought it'd be pretty obvious, since his handle is not the same:
", and nor is the email address:
. The forger is some idiot troll based
in the Netherlands. Goes under many handles, such as "Traudel",
"Waltraud", etc.; and appears to be a religious nutcase, as he posts
mostly on religious nutcase groups, at least under his current email
address.

In trying to emulate one of my thread titles, he's too stupid to
realize that I already did "Tweak no. 2". But nevertheless, he's not
too stupid to fool both YOU, GEORGE MIDDIUS, FELLA and ,
and maybe some more people that will come along after I post this msg.
Doesn't take much to fool people around here, does it? LOL! I would
think that with all the forgeries you've been on the receiving end
of, you'd have learned from experience.

I couldn't help but notice that since my arrival, there have been a
LOT of dumb tweak jokes put out by a LOT of dumb people, that think
this sort of thing is extremely clever, original and funny. They also
seem to think they're making a statement, but the only statement I
can see they're making, is a declaration of how mindless they really
are. Take you, for example. "Inspired" by some valid tweaks that I
shared, you're advocating that people scratch up their CD's, and
destroy the polycarbonate with Xylene. What kind of statement is that
supposed to make? Is it one that a responsible audio engineer and
member of the IEEE would or should advocate? I'm not a professional
audio engineer, and yet somehow, I have more sense than to advocate
tweaks, or any practices, which are harmful or dangerous. I've never
done so, and I've never posted dumb "joke tweaks".

Somehow I thought that you'd have enough maturity and sense of
responsibility to rise above the din of the imbeciles here Robert, but
on reflection, considering that you seriously advocated that people
circumvent the grounding scheme of their amplifiers and risk
electrocuting themselves, perhaps you're not the responsible audio
engineer I mistook you for. I don't blame you or others here for
being so profoundly ignorant about audio, though. It appears that it
is, unfortunately, your lot in life.

BTW, you don't have to make a "complete scratchfest" of your CDs if
you want to improve their sound. You simply need take some fine
sandpaper and sand around the edges. Sanding over the playing side can
result in worse sound.



This tweak is scientifically unfounded, but I have a version that actually
works:
1. Place the CD play-side up as before
2. Hold a sterling silver fork in your fist, tongs down, so they contact the
playing surface (note, plated forks do not work, only PURE SILVER MUST BE
USED!)
3. With firm, constant pressure, push the tongs of the fork onto the playing
surface, while moving the fork in a clockwise cycloid motion (note:
counterclockwise will not work, and can result in even worse sound!)
4. Continue the process until the surface of the CD is a complete
scratchfest.
5. Now, flip the CD over, and do the same to the label side, until no
reflective coating remains.
6. You should now have a CD of unparallled transparancy, or at least,
translucency.
7. For perfectionists only: Using a permanent felt marker that contains
xylene, write all over both sides of the disk: "Sound has Priority". This
works best if you use the hand opposite your handedness.

Give it a try, and let me know how it works!
