WEll said, thanks Ty. THese threads seem to occupy the
whole newsgroup when they start, to the exclusion of
everything else. some of us out here don't really care
about the whole thing, we're into producing good sounding
audio, whatever tools one uses to do it. GEneric computer
operating systems aren't something that gives us the big
rush. This ****ing contest is better suited to the
operating system debate forums.
So I guess we can conclude that y'all over there in r.a.t. are a
bunch of fuddy-duddy net-nanny types, some of whom produce really
weirdly-formatted posts ...
IF DAvid thinks my posts are weirdly formatted I guess he
hasn't been around this group, or usenet very long. NEver
seen him until this garbage here anyway, but then I don't
read any of the newsgroups other than rec.audio.pro except
when threads get the crosspost from hell treatment.

What is apparently settled with your post above is that you, oh
master of the computer universwe, are unaware that you are
crossposting* into rec.audio.pro, where we use the computer we use
to help do the work we do, and we don't care what kind of computer
anybody else uses for their work.

Which is the point I"m trying to get across, that DAvid
seems to be too obtuse to grasp. LEt me put it another way.

My van, and my truck are devices made for transportation. I
know enough about them to maintain them, and to hire work
done I don't have tools or facilities to do. HOw they get
the job of conveying me and my stuff from point A to B isn't
that big a concern to me. I"m not a motorhead.
I don't hang out in motorhead newsgroups or discussion
forums. IT's the same way with computers, they are tools to
get a job done. I don't happen to like any gui operating
system, for a variety of reasons. What you like is fine,
for you, have at it, but I'm not going to spend a lot of
time arguing about a tool which I essentially use like the
part of the analog system that stored the data on reels of
tape. Being in the profession I"m in I get enough operating
system nerd chatter.
YOu think we actually got a point across Hank, or are we
just adding to the general noise. I'll wait for an
actually interesting thread to come along when it does and
drop back into lurk mode.

Amazing how much tape is on a 10" reel when it's not.
