FWIW Keith, I don't know if you regard me as a 'cringing lurker' or
not, but I don't particularly want your opinions "directed" to me, so
count me out. I gave up trying to discuss various things with you
because of the kind of behaviour you have shown in threads like this.
I do sometimes scan your postings but have decided I'd be wasting my
time to respond.


This post is so ridiculous (on a number of levels) I'm suspicious that
it's a forgery..??

(But if it's not, I'd just say keep it simple Jimbo and use your
killfile - no?)

I'll respond just this once to comment as follows:


OK then, it would be churlish not to take this 'possibly last' opportunity
to respond in detail, if we have established that the post was genuinely
yours.


Don't see a reason to killfile you. I don't find what you write
'offensive'
or annoying. Just that my view of much of it is as I previously stated.

I did hesitate to make the comments as I suspected you would simply
instantly reject them (as you seem to have done by labelling them
"ridiculous")


I am surprised you included yourself in the 'cringeing lurker' descriptive
as, since I blew back in here, you have been one of the very few here to
post anything at all - or had you failed to notice mine being the first
response you got to a recent one (after a bit of a delay), which then
bump-started a bit of a thread? Your last post regarding LS cables I left
alone and I see it remains unacknowledged yet, but a cable only has to a)
*reach* and b) not get too hot under the required load to satisfy my
requirements - beyond that I curtail my interest in the subject, as in many
other things!

The next thing I found ridiculous was that you try to chide me for
'behaviour' when all I have done is respond in kind (+) to insults and
slanderous remarks liberally coming my way - check the threads and see who
actually *starts* the ****-slinging! (Hint: He is not of these shores and
his Pooch is not of this planet...;-)

You then went on to say you 'sometimes scan' my posts (like they're hard to
spot in the torrent of extremely interesting traffic in this ng) but that
you would be 'wasting my time to respond' and then went and responded
anyway!! :-)

Finally, your allusion to my 'behaviour in threads like this' is as though I
have ever responded to you in a thread in the same manner - which, unless I
am greatly mistaken, I have *never* done? (Tell me if/when I am wrong about
this!!)

Now, if you feeling 'ridiculous' is not justified or is too sweeping, let's
agree it qualifies as *not your most edifying post of all time* on a number
of counts - no? (And is why I thought it might be a forgery!)



and/or respond in an apparently patronising manner (e.g. the
"Jimbo"). This is part of the pattern of your behaviour that has made me
lose interest in discussing audio with you.


I have said several times here - I pay back in the coin I'm paid in and I
get a lot of *patronising* from a few here but not from you (usually) - my
calling you Jimbo is no more than an affectionate term. I think, James old
bean, if I was going to be patronising to you, I would call you by another
name..!! ;-)



However after some hesitation I decided to make my previous posting
because, yes, I do wish it were otherwise. If occasions arise that make me
think so, I will respond. Similarly, if you ask a question that I might be
able to answer or help with in a way you'd find useful on some audio
point,
I will still be happy to do so. Just that I don't really feel there is any
more point in debating your personal opinions on audio with you.


Thank you for your continued offer of help (which I suspect would never
really have gone away) but I have to be careful what questions I ask here -
bowling underarm questions to spark a bit of activity has led to too many
people queuing to pat my head (you want *patronising*??) for too long now
and I'm not doing it any more.


I am not saying I dislike you or find you nasty, nor that I object to you
expressing your opinions. Not trying to 'win an argument' or call you
names. Just that my view is as I previously stated. You make your choices
and I make mine.

OK, my 2p on this has now run out. I'll let you get back to arguing with
others who are keen to do so... :-)


Is what I do - the bashers almost managed to clear everybody out of here,
but I like to swing in through the window and throw them around the room
from time to time to show 'em they ain't quite home and dry yet....

:-)

Tip For Life regarding 'surface noise and artefacts when playing vinyl' -
move far enough back not to hear them! Simple! My rig fills the house
(bungalow) with music *two rooms* from where I'm sitting and I don't hear
anything other than the music!

That's it movie time soon!

Says it all, really. No wonder you find 'full range drivers' acceptable
when that range is restricted to a few thousand hertz.

Your reactions do make me regret I bothered to try and explain this to
you. As I feared would be likely, you haven't correctly read what I wrote.
So despite not really wanting to prolong this I'll try once more before
giving up...

If you then correctly understand my point, good. If not, then I'll leave it
alone. Have other more interesting things to do TBH.

Since I didn't do what you assert, your surprise is understandable.

You need to read what I actually wrote, which was:

The above line is quite clearly *not* me "including myself in the..."

It is saying I didn't know what your view on that was. Yet your new
comments make clear that you missed this point. To me the distinction is
quite clear.

The next thing I found ridiculous was that you try to chide me

No. I wasn't chiding you. Again, you aren't carefully reading what I wrote
- this time in both my previous postings.

Finally, your allusion to my 'behaviour in threads like this' is as
though I have ever responded to you in a thread in the same manner -
which, unless I am greatly mistaken, I have *never* done? (Tell me
if/when I am wrong about this!!)

Again, problem as above. I carefully explained I didn't find what
you write offensive, etc.

Afraid your responses reinforce my feeling. You have read into what I
wrote things I actually neither wrote nor meant. This is one of the
reasons I've come to feel as I explained.

Perhaps you should change your usenet name to 'Errol Flynn'. ;-


Slainte,

In which case let's end this now - it's getting too silly.

As one of the few regular posters here, you were not and are not included in
my 'cringeing lurker' descriptive - OK?
