Stupey Sillybot, defender of all-consuming terror!

the first place..."
'warm sound' = euphonic distortion not present on the source tape.
The horror! They're talking about LPs in public! And -- get this --
THEY'RE NOT WAVING PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES!!
Who can blame Stupey for reacting like this? He was minding his own
business, peacefully building up his Fortress Of Audio Safety (known to
Normals as a crypt). And along comes a Normal who DARES to mention the
Forbidden Truth. Of course Sillybot is terrified. What 'borg wouldn't be?
The only possible 'horror' here, for me, would come from putting myself in your place, and
realizing that *all* I'd ever had to show for myself was puerile 'funny' names, ten-ton
sarcasm, and nerdy in-jokes in the service of endless, pointless, psychotic vendettas...all of
which would still be there in the public record to condemn me as a sad, pathetic loser long
after I'm dead.
