The late unlamented Stewart Pinkerton used to claim that "Audio is
engineering, music is art" or some such rot

So why did Stewart drop out of the Usenet Groups, as indications are
that he has not departed this earth, or are the indications wrong?

The one good thing you can say about Pukey is that he recognized Arnii
Krooborg for what he is.

So what are these "indications" you mention of Pukey's continuing life? I
hope you're not claiming to be his friend.
