I know that Wayne in particular has had to contend with some of the worst SOBs, and I would never suggest that it is appropriate to give them free reign here (or anywhere) especially when you're paying the freight.

When people say things on-line that would earn them a restraining order or jail time for threatening behavior in the real world, there's no question they've crossed the line of human decency and deserve no consideration whatsoever.

What I really tried to say was that people can always find a way to be offended, especially if their looking. I wasn't thinking of the sort of provocation that Wayne has endured in the past - I was thinking more along the line of the sort of things I remember the feline posting in the past - "you can't make a speaker out of that crap" - not anal whore references.

"Before talking about audio, audio methods, audio tools and the audio results it is important to define the scope of the conversation. A playback system does not produce music. I would say even more: a symphonic orchestra in a Symphony Hall does not produce music. They both produce just an opportunity to become music and the keys for this transformation are located in our consciousness"....

Performed music is music contaminated, or in some instances enriched, by a fused awareness of many people: conductors, musicians, various environmental variables, listeners and few others
