Isolation Ward: RE: Will those edge treatments work .... by David-L.

First of all, that "diatribe" as you call it, wasn't even addressing you. So I don't know why you're acting like I woke you up out of bed too early or something. I presume that because you mainly just write "diatribes" on audio forums, you don't even know any more what posting a meaningful, on-topic debate about audio looks like. And since you're clearly unable to defend your attacks against me, it's hard to see what you think all these "wrongs" are about, when just about everything that I wrote to E-Tim, closely follows just about everything you already believe in. Except maybe what I wrote about your company, which nevertheless, was far from an attack against it. But thanks for reminding me why I never liked you very much, Geoff. You're kind of a dick.

The sad fact is, we're on the same team, you idiot. You never could understand or at least appreciate that. Despite the fact that there are so few who are. OTOH, you have so many detractors on the audio forums, I guess that's why you can't even tell when someone's on your side any longer. That's assuming you ever could. And perhaps that explains why you're taking a page out of their book. For those would denounce your tweaks only respond with ad hominems, because guess what, they can't defend a thing they say either. In fact, I'm the only person I've ever seen defending your products on the internet, despite having never tried any of them. And I still did, even after knowing someone who has, who told me he couldn't hear a damn bit of difference from it.

Oh, and I finally had a brief look at your website back in Oct. Specifically the explanations for the products. I found it an amusing read, because they were full of "wrongs". You did your best, thats what counts! AFAIC, we're all at different levels of understanding with this, but that's ok. If I suggested you might be wrong in your explanations, and you might not quite understand how they function, that doesn't mean I think you're selling snake oil you don't believe in. Even if, as it appears at times from reading certain things in your stated explanations, I understand the principles behind some of those products better than you do, it doesn't mean they're not effective. Nor do I think how they work should matter to the end user. Only --if-- they work. I still give you credit for them (though not for the ideas you ripped off from PWB obviously - even if you had their approval). And I'm sure I would have no trouble hearing changes wrought by any of them, if I had them before me. Especially the tweak with the springs under the platform base, since I was toying with sh*t like that some 25 years ago.

I only posted something here to see if I could breath some life back into this hidden old haunt; maybe rustle up a good debate or two. But nothing doing. Only ghosts and derelicts. NASA scientists who can't for the life of them, post anything more intelligent or compelling than what you might expect from a 14 yr old girl from the San Fernando valley. Frankly, I don't know why you ever bother posting anything at all on these forums, when you never seem to have anything of note to say about anything, beyond your usual muddled one-liners. I don't know, but if you can't or won't advance the audio debate, does it not occur to you that shutting up can also be an option? Well, "Whatever" Geoff, as you say. You can go ahead and die on your dead sub-forum created and named in your honor, and talk to the crickets in the meanwhile. Fret not, I won't be back this way again. And yes, you can go ahead and call --this-- a "diatribe'. But at the very least, you should be able to see the difference now.
