Meat Analogy Roundup

Don't know where you're getting French from but you counter-argued your previous stance on your understanding of the word "quality" above, you missed the point of the Big Mac analogy, and you also confused me with another poster, earlier. It's therefore not surprising that reading your posts can occasionally be confusing.

The fact is that you post the same chorus in every thread. Yes, we all know you have old gear that still runs. It doesn't matter what I have, what you have, or what anybody else has. What I *don't* do is belittle other people's gear at every turn, put mine on a pedestal, and turn every exchange into an exercise in pumping my own ego. Truth is, it's off-putting. Maybe you don't mean it to be but your writing is in an excessively condescending tone and you therefore can come across as somebody who brags and believes to know everything.

It doesn't matter where it's made, how it's made, which materials are used, and whether it meets your strangely narrow standards. If it sounds great, that's all that matters. It might seem silly to you to let my ears decide when its weight, looks, a "Made in" or "Made from" stamp all seem to carry more weight in your eyes but this is all for the purpose of listening to music. You can throw in all of the engineering and "Back in my day..." arguments you want but the reality is that once the music starts and I close my eyes, none of that matters in any way.

I occasionally observe that their taste is all in their mouths, and Mcdonalds burgers, at that.
