Your analogy is flawed. But lets keep at the beer table (us three - Klaus, magiccarpetride and me) and see it from my perspective: Me: "Hi Magiccarpetride, Hi Klaus, how are you doing" ? Klaus: "Quite well - look - here I've got two pints of beer. In THIS one a minute ago I added just a promille of some ingredient. It won't start any chemical reactions (i.e. change 0s and 1s) and you also won't be able to measure it, but it's free so no risk in taking it." MagicCarpetRide, takes a sip: "Wow, There's now just so much more of EVERYTHING! More taste, more color, more air and overall, more relaxed, less nervous beer." (took that quote from your first post in this thread). bluegaspode: "Hhmm, I'm a bit suspicious. He just changes soooo small things that never can have such a huge perceived difference I think." It's not more or less than being suspicious. (Which is not a wrong attitude, isn't it?) > It is extremely childish not to trust one's own faculties. We all know, that in medicine there are inert pills (placebo), which make people feel much better within hours (that's why I also don't trust my ears, nor my brains, nor my tongue, nor anything human). I'm just interested in whether we are given placebo pills here (even if they are for free or took a lot of work to produce) and everyone who tries to do some research about that (i.e. Flextreme and Phil) I will listen to very interested. Not more, not less. I refuse to listen only to the patients and I refuse to silence the researchers. I want to hear both sides. On the other hand I'm fine with people who just take the pills and just don't care if now the placebo effect starts or if there is really some medicine taking effect. In the end what matters is, that the patient feels well again (and is not scammed with huge amounts of money - which is not the case here). So just go on also expressing your experiences with the mod. That's why we are here. -- bluegaspode Big Screen for great Boxes available now at your AppStore: *'Squeezebox + iPad = SqueezePad ' (www.squeezepad.com)* - -now featuring streaming to iPad!- Want to see a Weather Forecast on your Radio/Touch/Controller ? => why not try my 'Weather Forecast Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73827) Want to use the Headphones with your Controller ? => why not try my 'Headphone Switcher Applet' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67139) Setup: 1x SB-Controller+Receiver (Duet), 1xSB-Boom. 2xSB-Radio Server (7.5.1) running on SheevaPlug (Ubuntu) with attached Western Digital MyBook Essential. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bluegaspode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31651 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84742 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
