Top-posted. Waah.

I got curious and Googled the terms "Thanks Arny", "Thanks Mark",
Thanks "Middius".

The large majority of pertinent results were positive "thank you's"
for Arny and myself for actually helping people with their problems.
I dare say the same was not true for Mr. Middius.

I'll wait for the usual vulgar attack from him, then probably just
killfile him (again). Not worth raising my blood pressure even one
point.

Middius has made precious few substantial audio-related posts over his
lengthy career. I think they can be counted on the fingers, maybe one hand.
My recollection is that Middius was invited onto RAO by Steve Zipser, when
Steve started getting major flack over flunking Nousaine's power amp DBT.
Or, he might have been just a renamed sockpupppet. He is working under an
alias, as last time I looked there was no trace of George Middius or any
person named Middius in the real world. To his credit, he doesn't deny that
he is a sockpuppet.

At any rate he has mounted a vigorous campaign to smear people like
Nousaine, Ferstler, and myself. He uses a combination of private email and
phone calls to program his converts. However, once he gets them programmed,
they seem to be able to go into autonomous mode. The good news is that for
some odd reason, most of his programees never stray from RAO. The few that
have, were mostly beaten to a pulp by the regulars in the groups where they
strayed to. If they behave any place else, as they behave here, they tend to
get pressured or kicked off by their ISPs, etc.
