From your first post here, when you weren't challenged when you
erroneously claimed that a gold fourth band represented a tolerance of
5%, through your rant that as a fed grunt you're really pretty
impotent, to this last one about that rhetorical question dodge, it
seems that with every post you've written so far you've been intent on
gradually turning yourself into an authoritarian dick. Is there a
reason for that?
Wow, you have some kind of grudge going or something? I'll take a
minute and answer some of your objections. It would have been nice for
you to identify message ID's, but I know that strained emotions
sometimes interfere with rational thought.
First, in message
[email protected] I said:
==
The tolerance. I think gold is 1%.
==
"I think gold is 1%." That's not a claim, that's a guess, a dim
recollection if you like. If it bothered you so much, you could have
corrected me then. I guess I should take this opportunity to correct
you, in that I did not "claim that it was 5%," but rather guessed that
it was 1%. Forgive me if I do not make my correction in the same
childish and scolding manner as yours.
Your second objection apparently deals with this message:
[email protected]
What is your point about impotency? I don't follow your logic, would
you care to explain where you got that idea? Attempting to read my own
post objectively (a tough task but I tried), I see frustration with
bureaucracy. What position of great power do you hold? What allows you
to read that frustration as impotence, and why does it disturb you so?
Finally, what do you mean by a "rhetorical question dodge?" I posted a
couple of suggestions, and I got flamed. Ok, fine. I flamed back, I
suppose too subtly for some of the crew. You see, I believe there is no
such thing as a standard PC. I have about eight different types of
motherboards in my den, five working (the others too old to mess with),
and all five are different in many respects, from type of memory to type
of processor to bus board configurations, etc. Perhaps you'd care to
let me know how many PCI slots a standard PC has? Is the video AGP, PCI
Express, or just PCI? Does it have SATA or not? What brand BIOS does a
standard PC have? C'mon John, my question was dripping with sarcasm.
"What is a standard PC?" Do you truly not see the irony?
Simply focusing on the subject of sound cards, the array of what can be
purchased is almost dizzying. Go to Frye's and browse their inventory.
Go to a store such as Guitar Center, and see the kinds of things a
serious musician can plug into a computer.
Take a look at these messages:

And tell me where I'm "intent on gradually turning [my]self into an
authoritarian dick." Do you notice in that last message where I tell
the poster I am replying to "...that sounds like a great suggestion...?"
John, what's your beef? Are you the newsgroup doorman, and did I forget
to bring my invitation?
