Karn's made some comments about the idea of a laser-pickup analog
turntable in (159@mouton) but then got rather testy about one side issue.
In a previous posting (842@opus), I noted that the following wasn't likely
to generate much informed comment...

Sure enough, we got a posting which, rather than ignoring the flame or
putting it down as having no substance, responds in kind (and in fact
stoops considerably lower)...

If you folks don't have anything substantive to say, either move your self-
gratifying flames to net.flame or shut up and listen until you DO have
something substantive to say.  If you can't listen, just shut up; you're of
no help to the rest of us.
