In Reply to: Funny, that's what I thought of his response posted by E-Stat on June 7, 2006 at 05:26:24:
The subject you started has nothing to do with lossy formats, yet you continue to pursue this out of context. Your posts continually show your lack of any rudimentary education in either engineering or physics.Your agenda is to disrupt and pursue the mistaken idea that somehow jj is all powerful and responsible for the widespread use of lossy formats. Nothing could be further from the truth. If the public wants to use these formats then so be it.
You are a thoroughly sick individual who has no business on this forum.
GET OUT!
