Well, given Arny's need to feel superior to everybody else in every aspect of his life, how else is he going to do it with other people with degrees (including many with Masters or PhD's) unless all those people did it for the status, while HE did it to learn? LOL. |

Harry, you're probably right, but I'd like to offer a word of warning here. I, too, have attempted to parse the convoluted impulses egotism and paranoia that fill Krooger's dysfunctional mind. It's a dangerous and disgusting undertaking. You can, before you realize it, start to feel a familiarity with the bizarre dimension Krooger has konstructed. If you're going to dwell there for any length of time, it's wise to take precautions. Just as psychiatrists need to consult other psychiatrists periodically as a safeguard against getting drawn too far into their patients' worlds, you should leave yourself a trail of breadcrumbs. Just in case. |

Interesting that none of you actually intended to get a degree. Of course they didn't. It wasn't until Krooger and the Kroo-brats were able to entrap some university officials in compromising positions that the degrees even came into the picture. |

Oh, I get it - you're into spending the big bucks on status symbols. OK, I’m looking for RCA/RCA cables. What makes and models of RCA to RCA cables meet your personal standards? My specifications, when possible, would include; must be fully shielded, 5 nines copper, connectors with excellent surface contact but will release without tearing off female RCA, significant strain relief, solid core not stranded, consistent sounding from component to component, and not impedance sensitive. So your short list of cost effective cables would include what makes and models, Arny? Hey, I live in a community that prizes status symbols - houses, cars, boats, degrees club memberships. I get that. Yes, I was in your neck of the woods, Grosse Pointe Yacht Club for a wedding last year. Why is the turbidity in the St. Clair River so high... pollution, high volume? Saint Mary’s River by comparison is pristine. |

Why is the turbidity in the St. Clair River so high... pollution, high volume? Saint Mary’s River by comparison is pristine. Lake Huron and Lake St Clair are sandy in that area. The St Clair river has a lot of sandy bottom. Part of the appearance of turbidity in some places is actually the shallow sandy bottom showing through. Also, some of the the sand gets picked up by the water. This is especially true when its stormy or where the current is swift. BTW Lake Superior is fairly turbid where the shore is sandy, especially when the water is stirred up by the weather. Especially true where we hiked this fall between Grand Marais and the Two Hearted River. We had a gale one night. We filtered our drinking water and cleaned the filter maybe three times in 8 days. AFAIK the Saint Mary's river has rock bottom and shore upstream by Superior where its generally clear, but it gets more turbid as it approaches Drummond Island and Lake Huron. |

No open water for 15 miles in either direction. Boats pace upriver and then down river. The bikini-girls on the larger cruisers were nice viewing.

The Two Hearted River is notorious for plagues of black flies in the spring to mid summer. "gale one night"... been there, on the Canadian shore of Superior. Even with all the stakes tied to the tent's storm cover the wind pushed the tent walls inward. To noisy to sleep, can't walk around because of all the sand in the wind and it is to cold to be outside of a sleeping bag. And unfortunately one has to urinate lot when you are not moving around and the body core temp is below optimal. That's right up there with spending the better part of 10 days camping in the rain on Superior Eastern shoreline. ![]() AFAIK the Saint Mary's river has rock bottom and shore upstream by Superior where its generally clear, but it gets more turbid as it approaches Drummond Island and Lake Huron. I've canoed the area between the Sault and Neebish Island. Near the locks the bottom is blasted rock and the channel is very narrow in spots. Carriers pass with only a few feet under the keel. Passed the loaded down-bound Roger Blough (858' ) in such a channel. 28,400 bhp makes for an interesting Doppler effect off the craggy rock bottom to the canoe's bottom to mine. ![]() |

Greenhill compared an early Master cable against 16g zipcord. .. Greenhill did not give a diameter for the Master cable but I assumed that if for no other reason that objectivist would not falsify the data to favour the proprietary Master (Remember? "Wire is wire" is an article of faith in the Chapel. I assumed the cables were of the same diameter= functionally identical. Scottie calculalated the monster gauge at 12 ( "or maybe 14"). He said I was "lying" when I said that 16g zipcord that Greenhill used and Master cable were equal ( same diameter, functionally identical,whatever) I reread Greenhill and found that the frequency response difference between the two was all of 0,04 db. Yes, 0,04.!!! Scottie had an answer: Can't get your facts straight... again. .04 db was FR error. What was the insertion loss? ..I answered: "Out of Scottie's album of moronic snares: "THE INSERTION LOSS WAS 0,16 OF A DB. REPEAT 0,16 OF A DB. Even dogs may have difficulty hearing it. Who remembers figures like 0,16 of a db? Who cares? Moronic snare layers think they got something to lie about in the future just because no one will remember". I apologise for going on about this but I want a to have a record. To me accusation of lying, RAO or not, is a serious matter As I foresaw Scottie is letting sleeping dogs lie waiting in ambush to pop up when details are forgotten and he can restart. He has done this several times before in several different threads. It seems to be his internet technique. Ludovic Mirabel |
