I'd prefer people to keep their money and make their own well-informed
decisions on how to spend it, not to hope that some crooks occasionally
give something to a good cause after it has been taken from them on the
basis of falsehoods...


OK, here's where we differ - I don't much care how people spend their money
(within reason - Buddhist 'causing no offence or harm to others' etc.) and
can/could think of a thousand things worse than loopy audio 'tweaks'...

My point, continuing as Devil's Advocate here, is that there is probably
just as much voodoo working when the 'snake oil squealers' decry various
products/practices - whether their objections are based on a solid,
demonstrable, scientific understanding, wishful thinking or just plain
common sense. The fact remains that some people *believe* they perceive
differences and improvements and, as I stated in one of the bits you
snipped, I ain't about to spoil their fun.

(Same goes for people who choose to pay megabucks for loopy expensive 'high
end' kit....)

I have not long come from the WAD forum where someone has posted an
enthusiastic 'converted sceptic post' about bits of Mpingo wood?? - He
seems happy enough! (I don't 'know' the person - I don't know if he's an
idiot or not...?? :-)
