---a sacrifice to the great software god---

Yes folks, I'm still alive!  (I had to say that for my fan club.)

I support Steve (..!nbires!winograd) in his statements about technocracy
and subjectivity.  Personally, I haven't experienced the same results
with multiple loudspeakers in the same room, but I won't scoff at him
either.  I have experienced the same differences in sound reproduction
with some of the items Steve mentioned and I therefore have good reason
to believe him.  But people with $500-$1K systems may not perceive any
of these effects and therefore may think that we've both have had at
least two Pan-Galactic Gargle-Blasters and are definitely not still
standing (the Answer is 42, Arthur:-).

The fact still remains that some people can hear things that others
cannot on whatever system.  Explaining these observed differences to
those who cannot or will not believe they exist without figures to
back them up has always been a problem and will continue to be.  But
unlike some people, I respect everyone's opinions and their right to
freely express them.

Now, on to invent something to keep the Patent Office open...
