Bill, Sorry if my sense of humour went astray.

It seems to be human nature to want to be part of a group that is somehow better than other groups. That actually had some evolutionary survival value at one time. Groups form all the time - religious, political, technical, even time-nuts. Some of the things they believe do not seem rational. Audiophiles are just another group, but the membership dues are kind of high. You can also see how the group has been manipulated by predators to increasing heights of expensive fantasies. There are parallels in religion and politics. Again, it's human nature. Surely, there's no one in this group that has bought an expensive instrument just to keep up with the group. I am not now and never have been an audiophile. It just bothers me when someone writes off complex human behavior with a single epithet. Bill Hawkins ... who can't sleep and probably shouldn't have written this. It is not an attack on Mr. Kimberly, whose posts have been a fount of information. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rob Kimberley Sent: Friday, April 20, 2007 2:15 AM To: 'Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement' Subject: Re: [time-nuts] OT: Audiophoolery Wow, got to get one!!!! :-) Rob K PS just goes to show how stupid a lot of people are out there in ga ga land. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
