["They are a shadow of their former selves and have grown tired and tiresome, dreary and decadent. But they helped keep audio as a hobby alive for decades more than it should have, and for that I thank them, rather than take the easy route and add to the whiny-old-man chorus."]"Well said, sad but true..."
THETINTDOCTOR: Really now! Forgive me, but I fail to see the logic behind the argument with which you so readily agree. By the same token then; If a man insists upon shooting me TODAY (or do me similar dis-service) shouldn't I point-out his wrong, and try to stop him? Or should I pleasantly recall those days of the distant-past when he was kind to me, in some way, AND THANK HIM FOR IT, even as he shoots me repeatedly TODAY? No offence intended so far as you are concerned, personally, but I simply fail to fathom the rationale which would inspire agreement with such a view. Still, I do respect your right to an opinion. Thanx! .
PS.
Perhaps you should have stipulated whether you agreed with that statement in its entirety, or in part. Kindly accept my sincere apologies if your reference was only to the first part of that statement, in which case I share both your views, absolutely. Furthermore, I too would express gratitude for past good-deeds (in the footnotes of history - the appropriate context). However, I draw a necessary distinction between these entities' deeds then, and their deeds now. Therefore, with regard to thanking a 'delinquent' for past deeds, even as he does me a dis-service today, my comments stand - with all due respect to those who may share such a view. Thanx again!
