My first use of the word had to do with you, and was, I feel, jusfified. In fact, I've justified it in this thread. If you don't like, that's your problem. You asked for a smack, and you got it. The second use only involved your name was in an (apparently rather pathetic) attempt at humor. I was intending that one to refer to the purveyors of the "your results are different than mine so you must have cloth ears" argument. By "pulling an occam" I simply meant sometthing along the lines of "referring to a work on rhetoric/philosophy as an 'argument'". I would have thought that this was fairly transparent, but apparently not. You do seem to have a rather thin skin. Maybe you're best off posting on boards where you have power as a moderator :). -- totoro squeezebox 3 -> mccormack dna .5 -> audio physic tempo 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ totoro's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5935 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32231 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
