[Sherman Webers]

In the days of old (early Internet), I used to really enjoy these USENet
groups. Now they are such a dissapointment. I miss the days where we really
talked about audio instead of...well; it is just sad what is discussed here.

You mean how to qualify for the Usenet Morons Society? Yes, that's pretty
tame stuff compared to vacuuming pubic hairs out of circuit boards.

I just did a quick search for your wonderful posts... all zero of them.
Do you have anything to offer other than whining?

Why don't you start an actual thread about something that interests you?

Otherwise, don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.

Well don't post HERE then. It's all opinion and no audio (nearly).

There are several other audio groups with useful content.

I did not insult you. I have more morals than that, jerk.

Unless they are properly broken. Then we like the sound, which is all
alike. It's like when I mike one of the many bands that don't pay me
to record them because I do it out of love. I break their amps too. I
do that out of love too and they don't pay me for that either too.

You mean broken *in* there, slick.

What are you trying to insinuate? Everything of course all sound
"alike"! And if you start throwing audiophool gobbledyook at me, all
that "bass slam, pace, rythm, soundstage, imaging, depth, smearing ,
skin effect, strand interaction, warmth, bloomy, analytical, bass bloom,
analog-like, transparency" all that stuff will get into big trouble!

Try to be more origional!

And yes! We know! Your wife heard the difference from another room!
Yawn. Next.

Sighted listening should be avoided at all costs! If you find yourself
looking at your amp, or CD player, or lamp wire when listening to music
the first thing to do is stop listening and match those levels! Also,
sighted eating, smelling, seeing, touching and for instance f.cking are
also prone to bias and should be level matched!

Next.

It is true that Arns isn't posting as much to RAO as he used to, but I
think that's because fewer and fewer people are willing to engage him in
'discussion'.

Did you notice his lame attempt to troll JA? No one bit, but I'm sure if
he had been challenged we'd be witnessing another fine display of The
Debating Trade.

that's because in the early days of the internet, there were less
trolls, and the WWW. type groups with graphics, etc. were not
perfected yet- there only WAS Usenet email based groups

now the Usenet groups are a shallow, hollow shell of their former
self- and eventually will be axed altogether

all the groups needs to be moderated

Yep, so many of the NGs are just troll bait. It used to be much better.
Moderated groups are one option. RAHE is generally a pretty good place.
Arny's posting style is usually quite different there than it is here.

Interesting, given that it's pretty much an objectivist dominated
newsgroup.

I don't know for how long, but I knew that he was banned for some period
of time. The moderators told me that he's being watched very carefully.

It is lovely to catch Jenn in two deceptions in one post.

(1) There are not moderators, and there haven't been for over a year. There
is a moderator.

(2) There are only about 6 people posting on RAHE with any frequency at all,
so of course all posters are watched very carefully.

Jenn sure does like to put on the airs, now doesn't she?
