John, John, John... ever the literalist!

Andre would be infinitely happier if his godhead went unchallenged.

Of course he is free to post here. But I expect even as ironbound an
ego as Andre gets tired of having his face rubbed in his errors,
omissions and general random babblings. Starting his own NG would be a
piece of cake as compared to the efforts he makes in trying to keep up
with his lies and poses in what, five NGs at this moment?

You are his wet-nurse after all, don't you think that your charge
would be happy in a venue where his opinions are valued and his
pontifications are taken as gospel?

No, I don't think that, I suspect Andre enjoys the challenge of setting
the "ugly engineers" straight, but that is only my suspicion about how
he feels, hopefully he will chime in with with his actual feelings so
that you don't have think.

Just as long as he chimes in someplace OTHER than rec.audio.pro, please.

I think his fantasies are more grandiose than that. The army of
sockpuppets must play a role.

hopefully he will chime in with with his actual feelings so
that you don't have [to] think.


Truer words have seldom been spoken about Worthless Wiecky. (Technically,
it's not really a question of "having to" think, but no matter.)

Nobless obige. I do my duty. It makes for a cheerier day if you can
convince yourself that you enjoy your duty. Ugly engineers do crunch
most satisfyingly underfoot. Don't tell me you too didn't feel a
frisson of satisfaction at a necessary job well don when we posted the
malicious Stewart Pinkerton into obscurity, or when we sent the
vicious Henry Pasternack into the night to question his own soul and
find it wanting.

but that is only my suspicion about how

Very nice stiletto, that, John, too thin to feel -- until afterwards.
Poor Worthless doesn't even know you're calling him mindless!

LOL.

John Byrns

Society last night on XM Satellite radio audio and data transmission.
Sadly, we missed you there, and at the SMPTE and Acoustical Society
recent meetings as well. Everyone was asking, 'Where is that wonderful
Andre Jute? The world just doesn't rotate without him...'" -- John

Oh, I dunno, Andre.

I prefer to go straight at a person using simple facts and verifiable
information... After all, with your imaginary methods using
theoretical stiletti, your poor victim might not even realize that an
attack has been made.

I take no pleasure as you do in bullying foes -

It seems to be the driving force in what passes for your poor little
life feeding your cramped little soul on the imagined slights of
others. My "slights" are right up front - no imagination required.

Pasternack and Pinkerton are alive and well, happy and productive -
more than can be written of you even by your assorted nurses,
sockpuppets, paid help and sycophants.

Get your meds adjusted, get a life, get real. Start by opening the
damper on your fireplace - even if you lose a little heat in the
process. Peat fumes addle the brain. You _will_ be happier.
