Strange that you've killfiled me but seem to mention my name in near every
post. Unrequited love, perhaps?

The ability to solder and the ability to make aestheic judgemens? Yes
they are.

Wonder what your only 'supporter' Mr G will make of that?

I'll bet he agrees. I think he is smart enough to know his soldering
skills are independent of his listening skills.

He loves to
build kit


Yes I have noticed that. I have yet to see him claim that his skills at
building has any impact on his listening skills.

and is the vinyl disciple to end all disciples.


Disciple? I know he generally prefers LPs over CDs. I guess you can't
wrap your punny brain around that so you have to attack it. sad

You are right. especially now that a couple big jobs are about to start
up. I have a suggestion for you. Check out Stevehoffman.tv. This is
your kind of forum. friendly folks that actually have passion for music
and audio and a wealth of information when it comes to the sound
quality of the many LPs and CDs out there. I think I am done after
today with these losers. I walked away from rec.auio.opinion for the
same reason. Haven't looked at for a year. I'll bet that it's the same
people saying the same things. But i 'm not even going to check.



(The reason I'm sorry to see you and Don trading blows is that Don really
*does* know summat and he *can* be my uncle, despite being about 5 years
younger than me!! ;-)


If Don chooses to play nice I will too. Not that it matters. I'm done
with uk.rec.audio after today. Slapping aound meter readers gets boring
and I have a lot more on my plate. The nature of the business you know.
Things are about to get crazy. looks like they will be crazy for a
couple years, maybe four or five years.

Don't blame you - the simple truth is Usenet's had its day and all the
groups I've ever looked into (in the past - I only subscribe to ukra) have
the same few sad ****s wanking out the same old **** over and over again!
And, tbh, I guess I'm getting a bit fed up of 'winding them up and setting
them off' - it's just too easy to do!

(I simply can't believe their *unending* capacity to type so much samey-samo
crap so many times over - it's *gotta* be driven by insecurity and
fear...!!??)

Thanks for the tip about the Stevehoffman.tv. forum! Ordinarily, I'm not all
that good with 'forums' as such - to fiddly to 'work' them mostly (or
*klugey* as Barmy Arny would have it... :-) and, apart from anything else,
they also usually have a few *stars* who get on everybody's tits as well!!
But with over 2 million posts and about 10 thousand members, it's certainly
a lot more going for it than this place! (Kinda shoots the 'small vinylist
minority' theories up the arse a tad, don't it??!! :-)

OK. Hope it all goes nicely for you!! :-)

You can put that mirror down now.

But that is not what 'mutually exclusive' means at all, Scott.

I'm getting the sense that Scott doesn't understand the meaning of the
phrase 'mutually exclusive' -- unless he really means that if you can
solder, you can't judge beauty.

Or perhaps it's another one of his exquisite jokes.

There seemed to be a great deal of plain English he didn't seem to
understand. Perhaps that's why he flounced off in a huff.
