I think he has a point. Â*I'm noticing that a lot of these audio old-
timers and angry and ****ed off these days, lamenting how their
precious hobby has been ruined by the high-end, or by music
downloading, etc. Â*


Â* Odd perspective. Â*Their "precious" hobby is your career
or so you've implied.
I wonder what the average age of a s'phile subscriber is
these days.

Arny's not the only one out there acting like
this. Â*We've been getting threatening emails at the magazine from a
guy named Gerald Porzio who saying horrible things about the
publisher, his family, his children, etc. Â*This is a guy in his 60s
who was a stereo repairman or something similar back in the day. If
you read these emails, you'd think he was a teenager. Â*There was
actually a time when this guy was offering somewhat coherent views on
objective audio, and then he just cracked.


Fortunately, Arny has moved on to the world of computers and is still
probably able to make a decent living.


So we should devote another newsgroup to Gerald Porzio?
Shhh may have a point Â*re Arny but I'll never understand why anyone
would
care.


Maybe you'll care about the quality of your newsgroup mates when
someone like Bob writes an email to your boss because you hurt his
feelings.
