The following is a draft of an article I published a while back in the
Federal Register. What follows comes from my contacts with quite a large
number of famous dead people. I also posted this article in response to a
comment in another thread:

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a
new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great
battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final
resting place for those who died here that the nation might live. This we
may, in all propriety do. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and
dead who struggled here have hallowed it far above our poor power to add or
detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but
it can never forget what they did here.

It is rather for us the living, we here be dedicated to the great task
remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion
to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of
devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in
vain, that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom, and that
government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish
from the earth."

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers at least brought forth on this
continent a
new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal.
Now, Clyde, we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that
nation or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a
great
battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a
final
resting place for those who died here that the nation might live. At least
this we
may, in all propriety do. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and
dead who struggled here have hallowed it far above our poor power to add
or
detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here,
but
it can never forget what they did here, Slick.

It is rather for us the living, we here be dedicated to the great task
remaining before us, Biff,--that from these honored dead we take increased
devotion
to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of
devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died
in

at least government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not

So now we know where Ferstler gets his information - from seances, crystal
balls and mediums.

How many times has he "crossed over" to the other side? One of these days he
may do us all a favor and not come back.

Does my being here make you uncomfortable, Richman? Do my
opinions about audio cause you to be insecure and sometimes
even unsettled?

Do you sometimes look at your expensive amp and mutter to
yourself "What if he is correct?"

Your opinions, Ferstler, are simply the result of your delusional status and
chronic inability to tell the truth about things. You are simply a source of
ridicule and contempt, nothing more. Your pathetic attempts at mind reading
are just another example of your lack of touch with reality.

Nothing you have ever said has caused even the slightest doubt in my mind that
you're full of it. And since you have no idea what I paid for my amplifier,
your speculations are about as worthless as your libelous comments about
others.

Why don't you try telling the truth for a change, Ferstler? Or are you too
cowardly and afraid to admit you've made severe mistakes and lied deliberately
about others?

On RAO, I consider this as a badge of honor.

Still, don't you get an occasional twinge of doubt when you
listen to that amp and wonder if a $500 Pioneer receiver
might be able to sound just as good. Oops, perhaps, because
it has a center channel and surround sound, it might even
sound better. Do such issues ever haunt you, Bruce?

Why don't you try telling the truth for a change, Ferstler? Or are you too

Get a life, psychologist.

Masochism and rationalization noted. Unfortunately, both are defense
mechanisms, so nobody believes you.

Your delusions are strictly your own. When was the last time you were in
contact with reality, Howard?

Tell the truth, libeler.

FIRST POINT. You know, if I am WRONG about amp sound then
those who have spent big bucks on amps may be able to
justify the cash outlay. I mean, they will have spent a LOT
of money to get a very, very slight improvement in sound
reproduction that probably would go unnoticed during
typical, music-oriented listening. Only during the most
rigorous AB comparison could such differences be notice.

On the other hand, the neighbor down the block who purchased
the cheaper amp will still not have to feel bad, because for
a fraction of the cash outlay they will get 99.9% of the
performance.

SECOND POINT. However, if I am CORRECT about amp sound then
those who have spent big bucks on amps will just have to
feel like idiots. I mean, they will be not getting any
better performance than the guy down the block who purchased
a Pioneer, Yamaha, Onkyo, Denon, etc. receiver.

And that person who purchased the cheaper gear will now be
able to feel better than ever, because not only did he save
big bucks on his amp purchase and get two-channel sound as
good as his big-spending neighbor down the street, but he
will also get a tuner and surround sound thrown in for free.

All of this is irrelevant and non-responsive to what I've said. Since you have
no idea of what anybody has actually paid for their equipment, including me,
claims about people having overpaid are simply not credible.
