You storm in here like some juvenile bully, spewing your
venom at everybody and expect to be taken seriously?



Blimey!


I'm not exactly insecure about my knowledge, so I have no need for it
to be validated by people on here, thanks.

I came on here, noticed a thread, read the thread, noticed a whole lot
of nonsense being spewed, and I've replied to some of that nonsense so
that these people can see the error of their ways. That's it, really,
and I'll be off when I choose.

In fact, I think I'll stay a bit longer than I was going to now you've
tried to tell me what to do


I'm beginning to
wonder if you are perhaps a sock puppet of Phil Allison's.



I don't even know who that is.


I'd say Phil is someone who knows his subject (audio engineering), and
is quick to criticise anyone (novice to expert) who suggests anything
that differs with his opinion. His manner of criticism is, well, unique.
His presence is interesting because I've rarely seen a thread end on a
reasoned critique of his technical analysis - almost always his manner.
He rarely *needs* to concede a technical point.

Familiar? :-)

This NG has changed over the past couple of years to a technical forum -
it's less about 'recreational audio', and more about uncritical
correlation between measurement and good sound. it's not really about
communicating audio. As a result it's lost some valuable and lively
contributors from many points of view. I have a passing interest in
audio technology so I listen in the wings.
