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.

I can only guess what you mean by "ad hominum". You've already shown
you love to distort language beyond recognition (using "tweaking"
for
"lying"). Does it have anything to do with your mother?

I'd be surprised if you really don't know the common usage of "ad
hominum"
(it's used all the time in these groups) but just in case, it's Latin
for
"to the man" which means, obviously, a personal attack.

You're being dumb on so many levels that I'll just observe I've
corrected your lame top-posted response, and leave you to ponder your
own MVP error average.



Please reply with evidence of the last time you ever fixed a broken piece
of
electronic equipment, other than just dumb luck, and/or the last time you
actually helped someone having a technical problem, other than just dumb
luck.

Have you any technical qualifications at all? If so, then why do we never
see any evidence of same?

BTW I prefer top-posting. **** off if you don't like it.

Top posting is annoying.
Bottom posting is about the only thing that
everyone seems to agree on around here, be they
objectivist or subjectivist, music lover or
technocrat.

Do you have ADD or some other condition?

That explains a lot. You can't figure out obvious, commonplace stuff, you
rant and rave in non sequiturs, and you like top-posting. You probably
walk around with your underwear showing and your shoes untied.

Yes, he definitely calls me on his sock phone.

Ppl that have the kind of money to spend on kit like that have to
spend it on something I guess !

I suppose you're buying into the 'dream' as extolled by clever
marketing.

No doubt the CD12 is well engineered - but really !

We did some investigations of high end CD/DVD players a few weeks ago, and
found that common high end practice seems to be to assemble the drive and
circuit boards from mid-fi machines into a nice looking case, maybe add a
gratuitous output buffer board, jack the price up by a factor of about 20,
and let the fun begin.

I don't agree. I choose whichever position seems most appropriate.
Usually this turns out to be bottom. But there are occasions when top
posting seems to clarify things a bit, or enables me to get my point
across before the reader even knows what's in the original post. In
any event, it's not a BIG DEAL.

You've got to understand the mind of Middius. He seemt to think that if he
can poke some childish fun at a serious post, he's smarter than the person
making the post.

So you cheerfully admit that some days your entire head is engulfed in
darkness. That explains so much about you, Normy.

Agreed.
