The science of opinion ...


Some may find this interesting (it is).

Some may find this threatening (it isn't, it is science).

Some may read it and use it to help them understand the dynamics of internet forums.

I am pretty sure we had already established LONG ago that this whole thread was pointless and should just remain for the comedic value only.

Or maybe that was just my opinion.

Hard to tell really.

However as far as music goes, I have already shifted into high gear and am enjoying my view of you all in the rear view mirror.

Adios amigos.

11:21amI see the usual suspects are overly triggered this morning. I had some fun, got a run, in, had a wonderful breakfast with my wife, and all the while you guys were being keyboard warriors. Priority mates ;-)
Maybe we all just got up way earlier than yourself?
Maybe you were up earlier. I think geoff goes to bed at 9pm. I was up early enough, I just have a better handle on what really matters based on the posts I see here.

That old adage about the early bird gets the worm, or that early risers are more accomplished and get more done ..... just another old wives tail. It’s the people who stay up late that get more done.

Oh, and if this thread is of no value, why do you post in it soooo often?  Maybe it matters to you, but you don't want to admit it, even to yourself?

I think in modern day parlance, what he was doing (pointless blathering) was virtue signalling.  He was trying to signal his virtue, that virtue of being "above it all" while the rest of us are just cretins shouting among ourselves here. The repeated posts in this thread on a balance of evidence negate that virtue.

Don’t get me wrong, but your post about pointless blathering was no more on point than any of geoffkait’s, mine, or anybody else’s posts in this thread.

Even your report about what you are doing now could not pass into The Science of Opinion.
It was pointless blathering, as far as this thread is concerned. Good news is that this thread is made for pointless blathering so nobody will be bothered by your posts, either.

Look who’s talking about keyboard warriors! You just wrote a thesis, right now. And you just joined Audiogon (under this handle at least), and have already written over 200 posts. In a few days, you will have more posts than me, and I joined in 2005.

I don’t go on forums to convert ostriches. They are a lost cause. I come to forums to help, even discuss with the vast majority that are truly interested in the best sound they can achieve for a given dollar, most of who just read but never post

And who the f**k are you? Who gave you the authority?
