In Reply to: So once again, someone bashes a product or company because... posted by tketcham on September 17, 2006 at 08:13:59:
Some products just suck. Luckily for their manufacturers, most are bought by non-mechanical dolts who wouldn't know the difference. The savvy buyers just pass them by most of the time, but sometimes the word gets out because an astute buyer made a regrettable mistake. Ours is a hobby that is filled with charlatans and hype, and often people fall prey to the shell game. The problem is that they really don't want to admit they were suckered. I suppose that's human nature.

those $500 crystals that I bought last week wont cure my bass problems and make my wife a clone of Bo Dereck?
did you mean Bo Derek?
1982, Rotorua, New Zealand. I stayed one night in a bungalow in at an exclusive resort called Muriaroha. The next day I was told Bo Derek slept in that bed the night before. Whoa! This was when she was "10" foxy (dreadock city).

dreck = Trash, especially inferior merchandise . (I thought this was perfect irony to the topic.)[German, dirt, trash and Yiddish drek, excrement, both from Middle High German drec, from Old High German.] from Answers.com
I like just about anybody and I like humanity but I sometimes confuse anybody with humanity, which probably includes everybody, so I guess I do like anybody as long as they are part of humanity which is everybody. I don't like Nobody; he's a jerk.
you really don't like anybody! :-)
I don't like nobody. I like anybody if they're somebody, or not. That's everybody, I think. Maybe Mark Kelly would know.
Geez. Here I thought it was about sound and now I find out I'm on the wrong forum.
I betcha that some Non mechanical dolts have pretty good ears.
...and some do not. And, some have no reference point, so they don't know exactly how much they can better what they have. They automatically assume it is good, but they are going on what the salesman said, and not any sort of comparative analysis. Their ears are secondary to the issue...at best. These are the guys who fall lockstep with the crowd, and question nothing. These are the guys whose egos refuse to allow them to see the truth. They are their own worst enemies.
