I note that in another thread, Howard Ferstler has referred to me as a
"pompous windbag". Whilst this may (possibly) be true, does anyone else see
this as a 'pot, kettle, black' kind of thing?

I stress that he actually had the temerity to call me a pompous windbag,
whilst attempting to tell me that I was incorrect in the field of circuit
analysis. A risky thing for Mr Ferstler to do, considering I did, actually
spend quite some time studying the topic at college. I would be interested
in knowing Mr Ferstler's qualifications as they pertain to circuit analysis.
Am I correct in assuming that he has no idea about the topic?

It could be construed as pompous to quote your qualifications in support
of an argument.

As for spending 'quite some time' studying circuit analysis,
I recall that some pupils never quite grasped the concept of Ohm's law.

Haw, haw, haw!!!

Is that Ten Years After "Boogie On" or ZZ Top "La Grange"

If he has, it's been kept a big secret from me. Sort of like
that recording of a certain phone all that John Atkinson
seems to like to threaten me with. ;-)

Howard didn't origionate this sort of thinking on RAO -

Ferstler is like that, he talk the talk but sadly never could walk the walk.
In a way, I feel sorry for his visceral organs and body parts which are
enslave to his, and oppress by his defective and mangled mind.

Harold aspires to be thought of as pompous. Pompous, as a descriptive word,
tends to imply a knowledge of the subject at hand. I'd say twittery describes
Clerkie's natterings better because they're empty and voluminous and they are as
quickly forgotten as uttered.

As far as you being pompous, all that accusation means is that Harold is
frustrated at being shown up by somebody more knowledgeable. This is a tactic
Harold uses very often. He labels everybody who doesn't buy into his religious
dogma with a few silly smears. It means nothing to a Normal person.

**I suppose. It seemed necessary, because Mr Ferstler seemed intent on
ignoring circuit theory. I take your point, however.


As for spending 'quite some time' studying circuit analysis,
I recall that some pupils never quite grasped the concept of Ohm's law.

**Then they would not really be students. They would be something else.
Ohm's Law is pretty basic stuff in the scheme of circuit analysis.

Pretty basic???

One ought to be able to apply Ohm's law without even thinking about
it!

I haven't threatened you with anything to do with a
phone call, Mr. Krueger. You were implying that a
recording made of you on the phone to "The Devil"
did not exist. Having heard it, I merely asked your
permission to send the file to posters who wished
to compare the sound of your voice on it with that
on the HE2005 debate recording. You refused
permission. End of story, I would have thought.

However, as the recording is indeed of you, I don't
see that _you_ can be denied the opportunity of
hearing it. I will email it to you. At least, you
can then stop claiming that it doesn't exist :-)

BTW, My report on our HE2005 debate appears on p.3
of the July issue of Stereophile, with further
coverage from Michael Fremer and Art Dudley
scheduled for the August issue. You may care to
buy copies of those magazines.

Thanks Atkins for admitting that you have threatened me with

purportedly involving me.

see that _you_ can be denied the opportunity of

Please do so at your earliest convenience.

It is pompous as hell for you to do a "circuit analysis"
without a hands-on approach. The fact is that all of us were
speculating about the individual's problems with his amp.

As for you being a pompous windbag, I still with my claim.
Your past statements about amp and wire "sound" practically
define pomposity in audio.
