YAWN...wake me up when the war is over...

If you can't relate to individual personal enjoyment as an ultimate goal of audio, sorry Bud, I can't help ya.

I doubt you like what I like or listen to what I listen to. I'm a blues harmonica player.

Since my motto is " Who cares what I like, make your own evaluations," I can understand how that can upset dogmatic spewers of topological laws and sharply-chiseled evaluation programs.

In accordance with my deeply felt philosophy that one should do with audio whatever makes one happy, I certainly recognize and defend your right to think and do what you please. If you think inflexibility is cool, fine by me.

I was sort of dogmatic myself 25 years ago, before I became a public audio figure, but I grew out of it. Now I think anything that destroys dogma is far more valuable to the human race.

One problem you will face is what if you change your mind? You already said too much to be able to turn around.

Puhleeze, don't act like I'm ready to run to Boston to hear your system and you are still thinking about whether I should be permitted, because as I implied above, I wouldn't travel to the next trailer park over to hear 99% of audio systems. I already heard 99% percent of audio systems, if you know what I mean. Sometimes it feels like I heard 110% of all audio systems.

I think this site is an interesting spot on the map and it is what it is. I'm certain that some people get a lot out of poking around here. On that note, good job Mr. Cat.

Maybe I'm not serious enough, but at least I am very serious about not being overly serious.

I only wish you liked Sound Practices and sent me 20 bucks in 1998 so I could have stayed in business 15 minutes longer.

Just to show there are no hard feelings, I leave you with some original artwork.

Keep on keeping on, y'all.

Vaya con Dios,
Joe Roberts
