Do a number of inmates feel so fundamentally unsure about the actual justifications for their personal audio judgements - whether they may describe themselves as "subjectivists" or "objectivists" - that they feel some sort of compulsive need to try to impose their audio priorities on everyone else, perhaps as a rather pathetic attempt to validate their approach by attempting to exclude all alternatives from general acceptance?...When any individual claims or implies that their personal judgements will be automatically equally applicable to everyone else I suggest that such instincts indicate an unintelligent "anal" approach at best, and staggering personal arrogance at worst...
Suggestions for helpful comment need not - and should not - be turned into some sort of personal dog-fight... For those that feel a need for a bruising confrontation, I suggest that posting provocative headers in the "Outside" forum would be likely to generate the required response...
Have an enjoyable day, filled with excellent music...
Bill.
